http://www.egs.edu/ Alain Badiou, French philosopher and author, lectures on the nature and essence of philosophy. In this lecture, Alain Badiou discusses the question 'what is philosophy'. He begins with three concrete problems, namely: philosophy and language, philosophy and duty and dialectical versus analytic philosophy. In Part II, of 'What is Philosophy', Badiou focuses on the paradoxical relationship between philosophy and time, specifically discussing the problem of transmission, the non-reducibility of philosophy to the present, philosophy as symptom, and the relationship between past, present and future.
