An interrogation of Plato's entire work using the concepts and categories of Alain Badiou. This is the first book to critically address and draw consequences from Badiou's claim that his work is a 'Platonism of the multiple' and that philosophy today requires a 'platonic gesture'. Examining the relationship between Badiou and Plato, Bartlett radically transforms our perception of Plato's philosophy and rethinks the central philosophical question: 'what is education?'


A. J. Bartlett is Adjunct Research Fellow at the Research Unit in European Philosophy, Monash University. He is the author of Badiou and Plato: An Education by Truths (EUP) and translator with Alex Ling of Badiou's Mathematics of the Transcendental (Bloomsbury).
