Canapé December 2015 (In French with English subtitles)

French philosopher Alain Badiou is particularly interested in the relationship between the historical moment, movement, and organization. In his youth he was a Maoist, but, with the failure of the Socialist States, he re-evaluated, like many philosophers, the role of the party form of organization. However, he has not abandoned the universal, but rather is constantly searching for the creation of a new universal and ideology. This month, Badiou visited New York City and was guest at Columbia University, where he emphasized the need for what he called a new communism. (Taped 12-23-15)
