Among his major works in English are: Century (Polity, 2007), Being and Event (Continuum, 2006), Polemics (Verso, 2006), Briefings on Existence (SUNY, 2005), Metapolitics (Verso,2005), Handbook of Inaesthetics (Stanford, 2004), Saint Paul (Stanford, 2003), Beckett (Manchester, 2003), Ethics (Verso, 2000), and Deleuze (Minnesota, 1999). Badiou is known for his outspoken participation in contemporary politics in France and Europe, above all around issues of immigration and unification.
