The result brilliantly exemplifies the transformative import of Badiou's Platonism.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRay Brassier, American University of Beirut\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing the concepts of Alain Badiou, this work interrogates Plato's concept of education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlain 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.
