Sometimes, We Are Eternal is a compelling introduction to the communist philosopher Alain Badiou's thought and a rare glimpse into his Being and Event trilogy, particularly the third part: The Immanence of Truths.
Human beings can live as immortals; they can become eternal: sometimes. In this collection of essays and interviews, Alain Badiou explains his intellectual trajectory, the intricacies and problems that brought him to write the Being and Event trilogy, all while making reflective and self-critical remarks.
He addresses a variety of topics ranging from his recent rethinking of the notion of the absolute, the universality of love, Marxism, the necessity of revolution, and the plurality of logic.
The book includes an introduction by Nick Nesbitt, Kenneth Reinhard's article "Alain Badiou's Fundamental Philosophy," and Jana Ndiaye Berankova's postface on The Immanence of Truths, which discusses the attributes of the absolute and Badiou's connection with Spinoza.
The book is published as a hardcover edition bound in a color-printed silver fabric and includes translucent graphic pages.
