‘Being and Event’ author Alain Badiou is celebrating his 88th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed philosophers of his generation.
Popular philosopher-author Alain Badiou has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 88th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Badiou, a cultural icon
Born in Rabat on January 17, 1937, Alain Badiou's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Badiou's not just a great philosopher, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Alain hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alain Badiou as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 88.
Happy Birthday, Alain, you're the best!
