Overview of In Praise Of Love

In "In Praise of Love," philosopher Alain Badiou challenges our swipe-right culture with a radical proposition: true love requires risk, not algorithms. Can we still experience the world "from the point of view of two" in our narcissistic, consumer-driven society?

The Radical Challenge of Love in a Risk-Averse World

In our era obsessed with safety and predictability, love stands as a defiant rebellion. Alain Badiou's "In Praise of Love" confronts our contemporary approach to relationships with both intellectual rigor and poetic sensitivity. The book emerged from a dialogue at the Avignon Festival on Bastille Day-a deliberate choice highlighting love's "cosmopolitan, subversive energy" rather than nationalist sentiment. In a culture where dating apps promise compatibility without risk ("Get love without chance!"), Badiou's work has resonated with diverse audiences-from philosophy departments to celebrities like Angelina Jolie, who reportedly found it transformative for her understanding of relationships. But why has this slim volume struck such a chord? Perhaps because it articulates what many feel intuitively: that something essential about love is being lost in our algorithmic, risk-averse approach to human connection.
