Steven Corcoran is a philosopher, educationalist, translator and writer living in Berlin who considers that philosophy orients us toward the good life, helping us to gather truth in its multiple, scattered forms and sites. Corcoran’s work of writing, editing, and translating philosophy has chiefly involved a discernment of artistic and political truth. He is the editor of The Badiou Dictionary and has edited/translated over 20 works of philosophy by, among others, Alain Badiou (Conditions, Polemics and The Idea of Communism), Jacques Rancière (Dissensus, Hatred of Democracy, The Edges of Fiction, and What Times Are We Living In?), Frantz Fanon (Alienation and Freedom), and Achille Mbembe (Necropolitics, The Earthly Community and Brutalism). His current projects include a book on egalitarian political organization and imagination, and a special issue on the thought of Jacques Rancière for Continental Thought & Theory. Corcoran is the founder of Parrhesia: School of Philosophy, Berlin e.V., a non-profit teaching and research organization devoted to the public practice of philosophy.
