The Event In The Crack-The Analysis Of Badiou's Event Philosophy

20th century is the century of changes.In the Philosophical Turn of "Rejection of Metaphysics",In the past,the traditional metaphysics was proved to be logocentrism,absolutism,essentialism and metaphysics.In these testimonies and criticisms,although they have different aspects and angles,they show similar characteristics of family genealogy,Metaphysical subversion is its common theoretical purport,and thus proclaim the advent of post-metaphysical times.The thoughts Analytical philosophy,post-modernism,post-structuralism,deconstruction have attacked and disintegrated the metaphysics,declared philosophy,especially the philosophy of ontology ended.The contemporary French philosopher Alain Badiou,in the face of this situation,began to rebuild philosophy in this ruin,declaring that philosophy still exists.Therefore,he established the philosophy of mathematics as the ontology.In this attempt,Badiou carried out three aspects of the effort.First,Insist on the existence of subject.Since the early Western Marxism such as Lukacs,Gramsci and Korsch against the second international interpretation of economic determinism of Marxism,so as to promote humanism,and later Frankfurt School further deepen the theoretical path,But Levi-Strauss opens criticism of Sartre and Louis Althusser's realization of humanism as a whole Post-Marxist critique of Marxism,Structuralism,post-structuralism,postmodernism began to attack subject from all sides.The Fortress of subjects are individually break from all directions,which are drilled into the end.In addition,for the proletarian revolution of Marx and Engels,At the time of Lukacs'creation of Western Marxism,the dissolution of the revolutionary consciousness of the proletariat was already the problem he faced,and then 'farewell to the proletariat'(Gorz),'the retreat from class'(Alan Wood),the impossibility of the proletariat(Laclau),'history is a process of non-subject'(Althusser),nomads(Deleuze),and so on,subject is gradually dying out.It can be seen that the subject of revolution,from Marx's proletariat and class revolution,to the later farewell class,revolution,and later criticism of the subject,has been declining.The problem is not just the theory,but the complexity of the reality.The development of contemporary capitalism has been quite different from that of Marx and Engels.Now the proletariat seems to have gradually blurred,and thus gradually weakened the class of confrontation.But Badiou still insists on the subject today,because the revolution needs the subject.But what he insisted are the subject of Jean-Paul Sartre-like mass,not one individual,in short,is not a pure class.And this subject of Badiou is occurs after the event,is a kind of post-event subject.Second,the philosophy of events also inherited the French scientific epistemology tradition.Because Badiou's event is a thing which completely breaking with the existing situation.What is needed in this sense is to highlight the transformation of the old situation into the new situation and to reinforce the fact that it is a completely new thing.This is also the use of Badiou on French structuralism,post-structuralism.This is manifested in the discontinuities employed by Bachelard and Koyre,where it becomes the emergent revolutionary paradigm for Canguilhem to Cognitive(Foucault),Epistemological Fracture(Althusser).Here,in Badiou,revolution is a complete break with the old mechanism.Third,based on Lacanian theory made Badiou's philosophy possible.Lacan's three things are essential for Badiou,that is,mathematics and logic,as the impossible truth,the formalization of the subject.Basically,Badiou relied on the set theory of mathematicians Cantor,in order to build its philosophy and takes mathematics as its ontology.When Nietzsche proclaimed 'God's death',when Lyotard declared "The end of grand narrative",Badiou opposes to Heidegger-style with the kind of poetic homesickness,Badiou does not return to the past,not stop,but takes the event as a starting point,re-opens a new horizon,the possibility of space,the front line of the road.And that means Badiou likes Benjamin,jumps out of Hegel's 'the history of continuous',rather it is a kind of rebellion,And he just is to determine a new kind of 'starting point',And it is the event,which is to be structured in the emergent moment.It is here that Badiou and Agamben are looking forward to 'coming community',the event is precisely what they want to bet.In the revolutionary will fading today,It is an effort worthy of affirmation to open the space where the subject seeks to liberate politics and communism with 'event'.After the 'Event',being fidelity to the 'Event',What truth is formed to the extent rather than what Raymond Williams calls'specialism of fighting'.Badiou's 'Event' is also from the perspective of mathematical ontology that the mechanism of this kind truth of 'specialism of fighting'.But he did not start from the specific capitalist conditions to seek the specific capitalist reality of social and historical development conditions.Because of the development of the contemporary capitalism itself represents a lot of change,and also puts forward a lot of problems,which include realistic and theoretical problems.It can be said that Badiou himself inherited the Marxist critical spirit,but the methods and paths have been far removed from Marx.This is what we need to take seriously.
