Event Description
Join us for our first Fidget Forum of 2022! We’ll be discussing In Praise of Love by French philosopher Alain Badiou.

If you plan to come to the event, email mijkalena@thefidget.org and we will send you a PDF of the book.

Or if you’d like to buy the book, check out our friends, local bookstore Harriet’s Bookshop. Link to buy here.

From the inside cover: Love without risk is an impossibility, like war without death. Caught between consumerism and casual sexual encounters devoid of passion, love today — without the key ingredient of chance — is in mortal danger. Alain Badiou proposes a vision of love as an adventure and an opportunity for re-invention of the individual.

Fidget is located up four flights of stairs. There is no elevator for passenger use available.

Funding has been provided by PA Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
