Drawing upon disciplines as varied as architecture, cinema, theatre, music, history, mathematics, poetry and philosophy, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Badiou, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Badiou's contribution to philosophy must be understood within the context of his decades-long conversation with modernist thinking. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs with other volumes in the series, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Badiou, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e follows a three part structure. The first section explores Badiou's readings of aesthetic, political and scientific modernities; both introducing his system and pointing to how Badiou offers manifold readings of modernism. The middle portion of the book connects Badiou's thought with the various strands of aesthetic, philosophical, amorous and political modernisms in relation to which it can be extended. The final section is a glossary of key concepts and categories that Badiou uses in his interface with modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArka Chattopadhyay\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Literary Studies and Philosophy, Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT Gandhinagar, India.
