Dialectics Of Rupture Between Being And Event Research Of Being And Event By Alain Badiou

The dialectics of rupture between being and event is the logical framework of French marxism reconstructed by Badiou,that is committed to save it in dilemma.Alain Badiou's work is very meaningful,because post-structuralism and postmodernism's destruction of the traditional marxism such as existentialist marxism,structuralist marxism and so on,have made the French not to believe in radical politics.The framework is organized these keywords like being,event and truth,and its clues is division between presentation and representation in mathematic.On this basis,Alain Badiou not only destroyed these concept like totality,economic determinnism,class reductionism and revolution in marxism,but also prevents marxist theory of his own completely breaking the metaphysical certainty of our time,just like post-structuralism and postmodernism doing it.On the contary,Badiou reconstructed metaphysics on the basis of the new grund like void.The situation is a very important conception,that refers to Being of relationship in The dialectics of rupture between being and event.It can be replaced by a set,that is established by Cantor in The third Mathematical Crisis,that is to say,we can discuss Being in set theory.The set theory can be divided into two class in modern mathematics:naive set theory and cascade set theory.A set can be defined by intuition or language in set theory,but It only can be discussed in an axiomatic system,in other words,we can think it without defintion.Alain Badiou deconstruct the total conception of Being in traditional philosophy by axiomatic set theory,that is substituted for by unity of a set.On the basis,Badiou express a set with multiple.Therefore,multiple of a set is different from one of chaos in post-modemism.Badiou's multiple has the following characteristics like unity and determination and his metaphysical grund is void,but in the case of latter,multiple is the abyss without these characteristics.Presentation and representation are two important conception of Badiou's situation-ontology.Alain Badiou think that situation as non-totalty is open,and its mechanism is presentation-representation one.On the basis,we can provide truth-event conception that innovates revolution conception of marxism.The division between presentation and representation in ontology is one between belonging and inclusion in mathematics because Badiou think axiomatic set theory as ontology.Of course,presentation and representation not only can be divided,but also the latter excesses the former.In a word,they are discordant.In fact,the inconsistency is prerequisite that Badiou provide truth-event.On the contrary,when we equate presentation and representation,situation is closed and event would be expelled from it.from the perspective of philosophy,when multiple can be thought in mechanism of presentation and representation,rather than in relation between whole and part of traditional philosophy,it can destroy the logic of foundation in traditional marxism like economic determinism and class reduction with axiomatic set theory.when the relation between them is normal,the situation with mechanism of presentation and representation is stable,balance and homogeneous,that is ruptured with event.Truth-event's rupture with situation is core of Badiou's philosophy,that can substitute for traditional marxism.Alain Badiou think that event is indecisive,that is to say,although event belong to specific situation,it cannot simply be reducted into situation.Secondly,event is not purely negative like Sartre's nothing conception because of Two-of-dialectics as its core,on the contrary,it is creative and has function of supplement.In addition,event as chance is miracle,and it immediately disappear after appearance.Of course,its instantaneous characteristics does't mean that it cannot be grasped,because we can connect trace of events with fidelity.Therefore,we can think its results.In fact,when fidelity connect events,procedure of connection is Badiou's truth.Badiou think that core of truth is fidelity as generic procedure and truth is infinite positive whole of fidelity-procedure.we think that Badiou's truth-event is a modified version of Althusser's ideology.In short,The dialectics of rupture between being and event is the logical framework,that Badiou innovate French marxism by.It can be classified as post-marxism and inherit the radical spirit of traditional marxism like Laclau and Mouffe.
