The Truth of Plato







“Recall what Marx wrote about Plato’s Republic: the problem is not that it is ‘too utopian,’ but, on the contrary, that it remains the ideal image of the existing politico-economic order.” (Žižek, The Year of Dreaming Dangerously, p. 15)
[by revising Plato in light of Hegel, Marx, Lacan, etc., Badiou shows the Truth of Plato for today]
