  Article:   ALAIN BADIOU’S ‘COUNTER-ETHICS’ AND PHILOSOPHY OF EMANCIPATION IN PERSPECTIVE.

Authors:  LAURENT GODMER. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Alain Badiou is one of the most famous French philosophers, but his position differs radically from the formerly dominant “post-structuralist” approaches, making him closer to European critical thinkers such as Agamben, Sloterdijk or Žižek. Especially with regards to ethics, his philosophy aims at promoting a kind of “emancipation” that would remain “affirmative” and truth-oriented (in a visible fidelity to Plato or Marx), defending the concrete principle of justice opposed to relativist or communitarian tendencies and even to ethical and humanitarian values that may reinforce structural inequalities.
