It is formed of three major texts, which constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event\u003c\/i\u003e (1988). ), \u003ci\u003e Logics of the Worlds (\u003c\/i\u003e2006) and finally \u003ci\u003eThe Immanence of Truths\u003c\/i\u003e, which he has been working on for 15 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe new volume reverses the perspective adopted in \u003ci\u003eLogics of Worlds. \u003c\/i\u003eWhere in that book, Badiou saw fit to analyze how truths, qua events, appear from the perspective of particular worlds that by definition exclude them, in \u003ci\u003eThe Immanence of Truths \u003c\/i\u003eBadiou asks instead how the irruption of truth transforms the worlds within which they by necessity must arise. An emphasis on regularity and continuity has given way to an attempt, one unquestionable in its philosophical power and implications, to formalize rupture and reconfiguration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event \u003c\/i\u003etrilogy is a unique and ambitious work that reveals how truths can be at once context-specific and universal, situational and eternal.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlain Badiou\u003c\/b\u003e teaches at the École Normale Supérieure and at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris, France.
