  • Summary

  • Continuing with Part 2 of Alain Badiou’s Being and Event on the topic of “Badiou vs. Deleuze,” Alex and Andrew compare the metaphysics of the two French philosophers Alain Badiou and Gilles Deleuze through ontologies of multiplicity, mathematics, identity, and the one.


    Guests David Maruzzella and Gil Morejón discuss the mid-century intellectual climate of France, the history of truth, Spinozism, and philosophies of the subject. Maruzzella completed a dissertation on the concepts of science and ideology in contemporary French philosophy at DePaul University in Chicago, and is currently Collection and Exhibition Manager at the DePaul Art Museum. Maruzzella has also worked as a translator, co-translating (with Morejón) a volume of essays on Spinoza by Alexandre Matheron published by Edinburgh University Press. Morejón completed a dissertation on Leibniz, Spinoza, and Hume also at DePaul.
