| Alain Badiou, French philosopher and author, lecturing on the paradoxical relationship between philosophy and time. Badiou argues that philosophy is both a proposition of justice, and a conviction of the existence of eternal truths. Philosophy, as such, is the proposition of the possibility of creating eternity in time. In this lecture, Alain Badiou draws on the similarities and distinctions of philosophy and religion, concluding that philosophy thinks the possibility of realizing religions' promises in this world, and without the hand of God.
