TL;DR: In this paper, Badiou explodes the facile assumptions behind the recent ethical turn by governments of the West and shows how our prevailing ethical principles serve to reinforce an ideology of the status quo and ultimately fail to provide a framework for an effective understanding of the fundamental concepts of good and evil.
Abstract: Alain Badiou explodes the facile assumptions behind the recent ethical turn by governments of the West. He shows how our prevailing ethical principles serve to reinforce an ideology of the status quo and ultimately fail to provide a framework for an effective understanding of the fundamental concepts of good and evil. In contrast, Badiou summons up an "ethic of truths" which is designed to sustain and inspire a disciplined, subjective adherence to a militant cause (be it political, scientific, artistic or romantic) and to discern a finely demarcated zone of application for the concept of evil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the political maturation of the young Karl Marx and his studies and intellectual relationship to important thinkers of his time are discussed.

TL;DR: In the face of the inexpressible horror of the Nazi concentration camps, survivors have a compulsion to bear witness as mentioned in this paper, and they have to offer atonement for their survival.
Abstract: Like Coleridge's ancient mariner who fixes us with his glittering eye and forces us to hear his tale of horror, survivors of the Nazi concentration camps are plagued by demons.2 In the face of the inexpressible horror of the camps, they have a compulsion to bear witness. They have to offer atonement for their survival. To their audience, they are both frightful and compelling. Like the ancient mariner, survivors seize the attention of their unwilling listeners: Primo Levi, for instance, summons those who live safe in their warm houses to consider his words or face his curse.3 And the lis-
