"Dibandingkan dengan topik lain seperti politik, keadilan, dan kesetaraan maka topik cinta sedikit sekali menjadi objek kajian yang dikaji secara filosofis. Ada konsepsi yang diyakini secara umum bahwa cinta terkait dengan hal-hal yang bersifat irasional. Filsafat mensyaratkan penyelidikan yang ketat dan sistematis, dan karena cinta dianggap sebagai bagian dari afeksi yang instingtual kemudian dianggap asing bagi filsafat. Cinta lebih banyak dikaji sebagai kajian di dalam psikoanalisis. Di dalam penelitian ini, pemikiran Alain Badiou dikaji dengan menggunakan metode naratif-deskriptif untuk mendemonstrasikan bahwa cinta adalah rasional dan dapat dikaji secara filosofis. Hasil analisis dan sintesis yang didasarkan pada filsafat yang dibangun Alain Badiou dapat disimpulkan bahwa cinta bukanlah sesuatu yang bersifat irasional. Cinta adalah rasional karena mampu memberikan penghayatan bagi cara manusia memahami eksistensinya di dunia. Cinta sejalan dengan filsafat dan karena itu cinta bersifat filosofis. Lebih jauh lagi, cinta juga mampu menghadirkan perubahan dalam tataran personal karena jatuh cinta memberikan penghayatan akan dunia yang sama sekali baru. Di dalam tataran yang lebih jauh, cinta juga mampu memberikan perubahan melampaui tataran personal karena kemungkinan cinta beririsan dengan hal lain seperti politik. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman baru bahwa cinta memiliki dimensi yang jauh lebih luas melampaui pemahaman yang umum selama ini.

Love received very little attention in philosophical inquiry compared to other topics such as politics, justice, and equality. There is a widely accepted conception that love is related to irrational things. Philosophy requires systematic and rigorous investigation, and because love is considered a part of instinctual affection, it makes love foreign to philosophy. Love is more appropriate to be an object of psychoanalysis. In this study, Alain Badiou’s system of thought is reviewed using a narrative-descriptive method to demonstrate that love is rational and philosophical. The analysis and synthesis of Alain Badiou’s system of thought conclude that love is not irrational. Love is logical because it provides meaning for people to understand their existence. Additionally, love can initiate change on a personal level because love can give a new meaning to how people live in the world. In a broader context, love can create change transcending the personal level because love can intersect with other things, such as politics. This study gives new insight into love, highlighting that love has broader dimensions beyond the general conception that many believe. "

"This biography of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) tells the story of a Jewish boy from Algiers, excluded from school at the age of twelve, who went on to become the most widely translated French philsopher in the world - a vulnerable, tormented man who, throughout his life, continued to see himself as unwelcome in the French university system."--Back cover.This biography of Jacques Derrida (1930--2004) tells the story of a Jewish boy from Algiers, excluded from school at the age of twelve, who went on to become the most widely translated French philosopher in the world -- a vulnerable, tormented man who, throughout his life, continued to see himself as unwelcome in the French university system. We are plunged into the different worlds in which Derrida lived and worked: pre-independence Algeria, the microcosm of the Ecole Normale Superieure, the cluster of structuralist thinkers, and the turbulent events of 1968 and after. We meet the remarkable series of leading writers and philosophers with whom Derrida struck up a friendship: Louis Althusser, Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Genet, and Helene Cixous, among others. We also witness an equally long series of often brutal polemics fought over crucial issues with thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, John R. Searle, and Jurgen Habermas, as well as several controversies that went far beyond academia, the best known of which concerned Heidegger and Paul de Man. We follow a series of courageous political commitments in support of Nelson Mandela, illegal immigrants, and gay marriage. And we watch as a concept -- deconstruction -- takes wing and exerts an extraordinary influence way beyond the philosophical world, on literary studies, architecture, law, theology, feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial studies. In writing this compelling and authoritative biography, Benoit Peeters talked to over a hundred individuals who knew and worked with Derrida. He is also the first person to make use of the huge personal archive built up by Derrida throughout his life and of his extensive correspondence. Peeters' book gives us a new and deeper understanding of the man who will perhaps be seen as the major philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century."
