From the Back Cover

This is not a work of commentary but an intervention: by actualising the categories of Badiou's Being and Event, Bartlett subverts the Aristotelian biases of Plato scholarship and exposes the sophistical basis of contemporary ideologies of education. The result brilliantly exemplifies the transformative import of Badiou's Platonism.

Ray Brassier, American University of Beirut

Using the concepts of Alain Badiou, this work interrogates Plato's concept of education.

Alain Badiou makes the claim that 'the only education is an education by truths'. Drawing upon the concepts and categories developed by Badiou that support this claim, A. J. Bartlett presents a new reading of the Platonic corpus showing that the question of education is at the heart of philosophy itself.

A. J. Bartlett is a post-doctoral research fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. He is co-editor of Badiou: Key Concepts and The Praxis of Alain Badiou.
