Why is Stéphane Mallarmé, one of modernity’s most ingenious yet obscure poets, so important to French philosophers? With in-depth studies of Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière, along with shorter analyses of Jean-Claude Milner and Quentin Meillassoux, Boncardo situates Mallarmé within these thinkers' philosophical and political projects.
