Biographical note
A. J. Bartlett is a post-doctoral research fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He has published widely on the work of Badiou. He co-authored The Praxis of Alain Badiou with Paul Ashton and Justin Clemens (re.press, 2006) and more recently Badiou: Key Concepts (Acumen, 2010).This is not a work of commentary but an intervention: by actualizing the categories of Badiou's Being and Event, Bartlett subverts the Aristotelian biases of Plato scholarship and exposes the sophistical basis of contemporary ideologies of education. The result brilliantly exemplifies the transformative import of Badiou's Platonism. -- Ray Brassier, American University of Beirut This is not a work of commentary but an intervention: by actualizing the categories of Badiou's Being and Event, Bartlett subverts the Aristotelian biases of Plato scholarship and exposes the sophistical basis of contemporary ideologies of education.
