Lacan on Tony Blair?
Well, actually Badiou on contemporary philosophy, but mutatis mutandis:
> Today, this hermeneutics of finitude seems to be in the process of reinstalling a pious discourse, a
> religiousity whose little God would seem to constitute the minimum of transcendence compatible with
> that democratic conviviality to which we are told there is no longer any conceivable alternative.
Incidentally, the Badiou collection Theoretical writings, from which the above comes, is excellent. ‘On subtraction’ really illuminates the theory of the event which underpins his Ethics, while ‘Mathematics and philosophy: the grand style and the little style’ is, among other things, the funniest piece of philosophy I’ve read for years.
