{"product_id":"saint-paul","title":"Saint Paul","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this bold and provocative work, French philosopher Alain Badiou proposes a startling reinterpretation of St. Paul. For Badiou, Paul is neither the venerable saint embalmed by Christian tradition, nor the venomous priest execrated by philosophers like Nietzsche: he is instead a profoundly original and still revolutionary thinker whose invention of Christianity weaves truth and subjectivity together in a way that continues to be relevant for us today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Badiou argues that Paul delineates a new figure of the subject: the bearer of a universal truth that simultaneously shatters the strictures of Judaic Law and the conventions of the Greek Logos. Badiou shows that the Pauline figure of the subject still harbors a genuinely revolutionary potential today: the subject is that which refuses to submit to the order of the world as we know it and struggles for a new one instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Alain Badiou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53614217560444,"sku":"9780804744713","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780804744713_3cbe676e-d66b-4ff5-b9ec-952e42829212.jpg?v=1727346161","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/saint-paul","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
