[lbo-talk] reading badiou -- worth it? (was: Review of Badiou's Number)

[Matthias Wasser]

I must confess that my forays into Badiou (beyond a few concrete essays like
"the uses of the word 'Jew'") left me totally incomprehending. If one wants
to eventually get a grasp on the more difficult Verso-y writers (ie beyond
reading Zizek for the dirty jokes), is there a particular curriculum (read
this, then read this, then read this; then watch these lectures on YouTube)
or way of approaching the text that one should take?
