On Badiou’s Reconstruction Of Political Subjects

The subject problem is a problem that has always existed in the process of Alan Badiou’s philosophical gradual progress,and is also a problem that is gradually covered up by neoliberalism and poststructuralism in the context of "post-student revolt ".The task of reconstructing the political subject.During the Subject Theory period,Badiou identified the subject as a non-substantial operation,which means that the political subject cannot become an extension to the existing reality,and is so full of unknown Political subjects lack practicality in actual revolutionary actions.Through the theoretical reflection on Althusser,Sartre,Mao Zedong and others,and with the help of theoretical resources such as Cantor,Cohen,Lacan,etc.,Badiou under the framework of axiom set theory on "belonging","containing" and Concepts such as "Empty Set" were discussed in depth,thereby constructing conceptual models of "situation","éta de les situation ","overflow" and "événement".The publication of Being and Event initially established a political subject Mathematical theory building towards truth.Through the examination of the political subject,we can see that the European leftwing thinkers headed by Badiou still follow Marxism on the road of communism and the proletarian revolution.On the other hand,badiou ’s re-reference to Plato produced contemporary Western Marxism that was more radical than the Frankfurt School and Althusser;The posture of the political subject rethought the revolutionary heritage of the proletariat and violently resisted the capitalist society.Although contemporary European left-wing thinkers represented by Badiou have a more radical theoretical attitude than traditional Western Marxism,they have shown a sense of estrangement from reality in the choice of historical materialism and revolutionary paths.
