In keeping with his insistence that contemporary forms of exclusion serve to 'deprive the vast majority of human beings of their visibility', Badiou concludes that today 'there is no world', and that 'the great majority of humanity counts for nothing': Badiou, 'The Caesura of Nihilism', lecture given at the University of Cardiff, 25 May 2002;
