    • Boeken

Alain Badiou in his IMMANENCE OF TRUTHS (French 2018, English 2022) took the « Absolute turn », deciding to show how mundane multiplicities appeared  when viewed from the Absolute as point of departure. François Laruelle made a similar turn in 1985, beginning with the Absolute as transcendental field and as perspective on mundane multiplicities. What are the points of convergence and divergence between the two approaches?
