[書籍內容/Book De*ion]

《愛的多重奏》是法國當代著名哲學家阿蘭?巴迪歐與《世界報》記者尼古拉?特呂翁以 “愛”為主題的公開談話錄。巴迪歐批判西方流行的“愛”的觀念，堅持某種理想主義，而這背後映現的也是他所主張的哲學觀與關於更美好的理想社會的設想。

A new century, new threats to love . . .

Love without risks is like war without deaths - but, today, love is threatened by an alliance of liberalism and hedonism. Caught between consumerism and casual sexual encounters devoid of passion, love - without the key ingredient of chance - is in danger of withering on the vine.

In In Praise of Love, Alain Badiou takes on contemporary 'dating agency' conceptions of love that come complete with zero-risk insurance - like US zero-casualty bombs. He develops a new take on love that sees it as an adventure, and an opportunity for re-invention, in a constant exploration of otherness and difference that leads the individual out of an obsession with identity and self.

Liberal, libertine and libertarian reductions of love to instant pleasure and non-commitment bite the dust as Badiou invokes a supporting cast of thinkers from Plato to Lacan via Karl Marx to form a new narrative of romance, relationships and sex - a narrative that does not fear love.
