It would not be absurd to say that Wittgenstein is a hero of our time. However, it is necessary to carefully examine the reason for his heroism and how he himself explained this reason.
Anti-philosophy is a constructive system of rebellion that French thinker Alain Badiou has built, particularly on Wittgenstein,
Nietzsche, and Lacan.
According to this, the anti-philosopher is a figure capable of speaking to his era and beyond, tasked not with protecting the established order, but with transforming its sphere of influence. This
figure always exhibits the "uncomfortable attitude" inherent in philosophy.
Their discourse is authoritative and striking; what they express is exactly as they are. Wittgenstein's Anti-Philosophy is the book version of a series of lectures in which Badiou explains the concepts of "anti-philosophy" and
"anti-philosopher." While Badiou examines the transformation of philosophy by taking its "dignity" in the first part of the book, centered on Wittgenstein's key position, he addresses Wittgenstein's rhetoric in the second part.
