Biography[edit
</w/index.php?title=Alain_Badiou&action=edit&section=1&editintro=Template:BL
P_editintro>]
Badiou was a student at the Lyce Louis-Le-Grand
</wiki/Lyc%C3%A9e_Louis-Le-Grand> and then the cole Normale Suprieure
</wiki/%C3%89cole_Normale_Sup%C3%A9rieure> (19571961). He taught at the
lyce in Reims </wiki/Reims> from 1963 where he became a close friend of
fellow playwright (and philosopher) Franois Regnault
</wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Regnault>,^[1] <#cite_note-cahiers-1> and published
a couple of novels before moving to the University of Paris VIII
</wiki/University_of_Paris_VIII> (Vincennes-Saint Denis) in 1969.^[2]
<#cite_note-www.web.mdx.ac.uk-2> Badiou was politically active very
early on, and was one of the founding members of the Unified Socialist
Party </wiki/Unified_Socialist_Party_(France)> (PSU). The PSU was
particularly active in the struggle for the decolonization
</wiki/Decolonization> of Algeria. He wrote his first novel,
/Almagestes/, in 1964. In 1967 he joined a study group organized by
Louis Althusser </wiki/Louis_Althusser>, became increasingly influenced
by Jacques Lacan </wiki/Jacques_Lacan> and became a member of the
editorial board of /Cahiers pour l'Analyse
</wiki/Cahiers_pour_l%27Analyse>/.^[2] <#cite_note-www.web.mdx.ac.uk-2>
By then he "already had a solid grounding in mathematics and logic
(along with Lacanian theory </wiki/Lacanianism>)",^[2]
<#cite_note-www.web.mdx.ac.uk-2> and his own two contributions to the
pages of /Cahiers/ "anticipate many of the distinctive concerns of his
later philosophy".^[2] <#cite_note-www.web.mdx.ac.uk-2>
The student uprisings of May 1968 </wiki/May_1968_in_France> reinforced
Badiou's commitment to the far Left, and he participated in increasingly
militant groups, such as the Union des communistes de France
marxiste-lniniste
<//fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_des_communistes_de_France_marxiste-l%C3%A9niniste
>
(UCFml). To quote Badiou himself, the UCFml is "the Maoist
</wiki/Maoist> organization established in late 1969 by Natacha Michel
</wiki/Natacha_Michel>, Sylvain Lazarus </wiki/Sylvain_Lazarus>, myself
and a fair number of young people".^[3] <#cite_note-3> During this time,
Badiou joined the faculty of the newly founded University of Paris
VIII/Vincennes-Saint Denis which was a bastion of counter-cultural
thought. There he engaged in fierce intellectual debates with fellow
professors Gilles Deleuze </wiki/Gilles_Deleuze> and Jean-Franois
Lyotard </wiki/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Lyotard>, whose philosophical works he
considered unhealthy deviations from the Althusserian program of a
scientific Marxism </wiki/Marxism>.
In the 1980s, as both Althusserian Marxism and Lacanian psychoanalysis
went into decline (after Lacan passed away and Althusser was committed
to a psychiatric hospital), Badiou published more technical and abstract
</wiki/Abstraction> philosophical works, such as /Thorie du sujet/
(1982), and his magnum opus, /Being and Event/ (1988). Nonetheless,
Badiou has never renounced Althusser or Lacan, and sympathetic
references to Marxism and psychoanalysis are not uncommon in his more
recent works (most notably /Petit panthon portatif///Pocket
Pantheon/).^[4] <#cite_note-Pantheon_Lacan-4> ^[5]
<#cite_note-Pantheon_Althusser-5>
He took up his current position at the ENS in 1999. He is also
associated with a number of other institutions, such as the Collge
International de Philosophie
</wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_International_de_Philosophie>. He was a member of
"L'Organisation Politique"
<//fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_politique> which, as mentioned
above, he founded in 1985 with some comrades from the Maoist UCFml. This
organization disbanded in 2007, according to the French Wikipedia
article (linked to in the previous sentence). In 2002, he was a
co-founder of the Centre International d'Etude de la Philosophie
Franaise Contemporaine, alongside Yves Duroux
</w/index.php?title=Yves_Duroux&action=edit&redlink=1> and his former
student Quentin Meillassoux </wiki/Quentin_Meillassoux>.^[6]
<#cite_note-6> Badiou has also enjoyed success as a dramatist with plays
such as /Ahmed le Subtil/.
In the last decade, an increasing number of Badiou's works have been
translated into English, such as /Ethics/, /Deleuze/, /Manifesto for
Philosophy/, /Metapolitics/, and /Being and Event/. Short pieces by
Badiou have likewise appeared in American and English periodicals, such
as /Lacanian Ink </wiki/Lacanian_Ink>/, /New Left Review
</wiki/New_Left_Review>/, /Radical Philosophy
</wiki/Radical_Philosophy>/, /Cosmos and History/ [1]
<http://www.cosmosandhistory.org/> and /Parrhesia/. Unusually for a
contemporary European philosopher his work is increasingly being taken
up by militants in countries like India, the Democratic Republic of
Congo and South Africa.
Recently Badiou got into a fierce controversy within the confines of
Parisian intellectual life. It started in 2005 with the publication of
his "Circonstances 3: Portes du mot 'juif'" The Uses of the Word
"Jew".^[7] <#cite_note-7> This book generated a strong response with
calls of Badiou being labelled Anti-Semitic </wiki/Anti-Semitic>. The
wrangling became a cause clbre with articles going back and forth in
the French newspaper Le Monde </wiki/Le_Monde> and in the cultural
journal "Les temps modernes." Linguist and Lacanian philosopher
Jean-Claude Milner </wiki/Jean-Claude_Milner>, a past president of
Jacques Derrida </wiki/Jacques_Derrida>'s Collge international de
philosophie </wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_international_de_philosophie>, has
accused Badiou of Anti-Semitism </wiki/Anti-Semitism>.^[8] <#cite_note-8>
Key concepts[edit
P_editintro>]
Badiou makes repeated use of several concepts throughout his philosophy.
One of the aims of his thought is to show that his categories of truth
are useful for any type of philosophical critique. Therefore, he uses
them to interrogate art and history as well as ontology and scientific
discovery. Johannes Thumfart argues that Badiou's philosophy can be
regarded as a contemporary reinterpretation of Platonism
</wiki/Platonism>.^[9] <#cite_note-9>
Conditions[edit
</w/index.php?title=Alain_Badiou&action=edit&section=3&editintro=Template:
BLP_editintro>]
According to Badiou, philosophy is suspended from four conditions (art,
love, politics, and science), each of them fully independent "truth
procedures." (For Badiou's notion of truth procedures, see below.)
Badiou consistently maintains throughout his work (but most
systematically in /Manifesto for Philosophy
</w/index.php?title=Manifesto_for_Philosophy&action=edit&redlink=1>/)
that philosophy must avoid the temptation to suture itself (that is, to
hand over its entire intellectual effort) to any of these independent
truth procedures. When philosophy does suture itself to one of its
conditions (and Badiou argues that the history of philosophy during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries is primarily a history of sutures),
what results is a philosophical "disaster." Consequently, philosophy is,
according to Badiou, a thinking of the /compossibility/ of the several
truth procedures, whether this is undertaken through the investigation
of the intersections between distinct truth procedures (the intersection
of art and love in the novel, for instance), or whether this is
undertaken through the more traditionally philosophical work of
addressing categories like truth or the subject (concepts that are, as
concepts, external to the individual truth procedures, though they are
functionally operative in the truth procedures themselves). For Badiou,
when philosophy addresses the four truth procedures in a genuinely
philosophical manner, rather than through a suturing abandonment of
philosophy as such, it speaks of them with a theoretical terminology
that marks its philosophical character: "inaesthetics" rather than art;
metapolitics rather than politics; ontology rather than science; etc.
Truth </wiki/Truth>, for Badiou, is a specifically philosophical
category. While philosophy's several conditions are, on their own terms,
"truth procedures" (i.e., they produce truths as they are pursued), it
is only philosophy that can speak of the several truth procedures /as/
truth procedures. (The lover, for instance, does not think of her love
as a question of truth, but simply and rightly as a question of love.
Only the philosopher sees in the true lover's love the unfolding of a
truth.) Badiou has a very rigorous notion of truth, one that is strongly
against the grain of much of contemporary European thought. Badiou at
once embraces the traditional modernist notion that truths are genuinely
invariant (always and everywhere the case, eternal and unchanging) and
the incisively postmodernist notion that truths are constructed through
processes. Badiou's theory of truth, exposited throughout his work,
accomplishes this strange mixture by uncoupling invariance from
self-evidence (such that invariance does not imply self-evidence), as
well as by uncoupling constructedness from relativity (such that
constructedness does not lead to relativism).
The idea, here, is that a truth's invariance makes it genuinely
indiscernible: because a truth is everywhere and always the case, it
passes unnoticed unless there is a rupture in the laws of being and
appearance, during which the truth in question becomes, but only for a
passing moment, discernible. Such a rupture is what Badiou calls an
event, according to a theory originally worked out in /Being and Event
</w/index.php?title=Being_and_Event&action=edit&redlink=1>/ and fleshed
out in important ways in /Logics of Worlds
</w/index.php?title=Logics_of_Worlds&action=edit&redlink=1>/. The
individual who chances to witness such an event, if he is faithful to
what he has glimpsed, can then introduce the truth by naming it into
worldly situations. For Badiou, it is by positioning oneself to the
truth of an event that a human animal becomes a subject
</wiki/Subject_(philosophy)>; subjectivity is not an inherent human
trait. According to a process or procedure that subsequently unfolds
only if those who subject themselves to the glimpsed truth continue
faithful in the work of announcing the truth in question, genuine
knowledge is produced (knowledge often appears in Badiou's work under
the title of the "veridical"). While such knowledge is produced in the
process of being faithful to a truth event, it should be noted that, for
Badiou, knowledge, in the figure of the encyclopedia, always remains
fragile, subject to what may yet be produced as faithful subjects of the
event produce further knowledge. According to Badiou, truth procedures
proceed to infinity, such that faith (fidelity) outstrips knowledge.
(Badiou, following both Lacan </wiki/Jacques_Lacan> and Heidegger
</wiki/Heidegger>, distances truth from knowledge.) The dominating
ideology of the day, which Badiou terms "democratic materialism," denies
the existence of truth and only recognizes "bodies
</wiki/Physical_body>" and "languages </wiki/Languages>." Badiou
proposes a turn towards the "materialist dialectic
</wiki/Materialist_dialectic>," which recognizes that there are only
bodies and languages, /except/ there are also truths.
Inaesthetic[edit
BLP_editintro>]
In /Handbook of Inaesthetics/ Badiou both draws on the original Greek
meaning and later Kantian concept of "aesthesis" as "material
perception" and coins the phrase "inaesthetic" to refer to a concept of
artistic creation that denies "the reflection/object relation" yet, at
the same time, in reaction against the bourgeois idea of mimesis
</wiki/Mimesis>, or poetic reflection of "nature", he affirms that art
is "immanent" and "singular". Art is immanent in the sense that its
truth is given in its immediacy in a given work of art, and singular in
that its truth is found in art and art alonehence reviving the ancient
materialist concept of "aesthesis". His view of the link between
philosophy and art is tied into the motif of pedagogy, which he claims
functions so as to "arrange the forms of knowledge in a way that some
truth may come to pierce a hole in them". He develops these ideas with
examples from the prose of Samuel Beckett </wiki/Samuel_Beckett> and the
poetry of Stphane Mallarm </wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Mallarm%C3%A9> and
Fernando Pessoa </wiki/Fernando_Pessoa> (who he argues has developed a
body of work that philosophy is currently incapable of incorporating),
among others.
Introduction to /Being and Event/[edit
P_editintro>]
The major propositions of Badiou's philosophy all find their basis in
/Being and Event/, in which he continues his attempt (which he began in
/Thorie du sujet/) to reconcile a notion of the subject with ontology,
and in particular post-structuralist </wiki/Post-structuralism> and
constructivist </wiki/Constructivist_epistemology> ontologies.^[10]
<#cite_note-10> A frequent criticism of post-structuralist work is that
it prohibits, through its fixation on semiotics </wiki/Semiotics> and
language, any notion of a subject. Badiou's work is, by his own
admission,^[11] <#cite_note-11> an attempt to break out of contemporary
philosophy's fixation upon language, which he sees almost as a
straitjacket. This effort leads him, in /Being and Event/, to combine
rigorous mathematical formulae with his readings of poets such as
Mallarm </wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Mallarm%C3%A9> and Hlderlin
</wiki/Friedrich_H%C3%B6lderlin> and religious thinkers such as Pascal
</wiki/Blaise_Pascal>. His philosophy draws upon both 'analytical' and
'continental' traditions. In Badiou's own opinion, this combination
places him awkwardly relative to his contemporaries, meaning that his
work had been only slowly taken up.^[12] <#cite_note-12> /Being and
Event/ offers an example of this slow uptake, in fact: it was translated
into English only in 2005, a full seventeen years after its French
publication.
As is implied in the title of the book, two elements mark the thesis of
/Being and Event/: the place of ontology, or 'the science of being qua
being' (being in itself), and the place of the event which is seen as
a rupture in being through which the subject finds realization and
reconciliation with truth. This situation of being and the rupture which
characterizes the event are thought in terms of set theory
</wiki/Set_theory>, and specifically ZermeloFraenkel set theory
</wiki/Zermelo%E2%80%93Fraenkel_set_theory> (with the axiom of choice),
to which Badiou accords a fundamental role in a manner quite distinct
from the majority of either mathematicians or philosophers.
Mathematics as ontology[edit
BLP_editintro>]

Portal icon </wiki/File:Nuvola_apps_edu_mathematics_blue-p.svg>
Mathematics portal </wiki/Portal:Mathematics>
For Badiou the problem which the Greek </wiki/Greek_philosophy>
tradition of philosophy has faced and never satisfactorily dealt with is
that while beings themselves are plural, and thought in terms of
multiplicity, being itself is thought to be singular; that is, /it/ is
thought in terms of the one. He proposes as the solution to this impasse
the following declaration: that the one is not. This is why Badiou
accords set theory (the axioms of which he refers to as the Ideas of the
multiple) such stature, and refers to mathematics as the very place of
ontology: Only set theory allows one to conceive a 'pure doctrine of the
multiple'. Set theory does not operate in terms of definite individual
elements in groupings but only functions insofar as what belongs to a
set is of the same relation as that set (that is, another set too). What
individuates a set, therefore, is not an existential positive
proposition, but other multiples whose properties (i.e., /structural/
relations) validate its presentation. The /structure/ of being thus
secures the regime of the count-as-one. So if one is to think of a set
for instance, the set of people, or humanity as counting as one, the
multiple elements which belong to that set are secured as one consistent
concept (humanity), but only in terms of what does /not/ belong to that
set. What is crucial for Badiou is that the structural form of the
count-as-one, which makes multiplicities thinkable, implies (somehow or
other) that the proper name of /being/ does not belong to an /element/
as such (an original 'one'), but rather the void set (written ), the
set to which nothing (not even the void set itself) belongs. It may help
to understand the concept 'count-as-one' if it is associated with the
concept of 'terming': a multiple is /not/ one, but it is referred to
with 'multiple': one word. To count a set as one is to mention that set.
How the being of terms such as 'multiple' does not contradict the
non-being of the one can be understood by considering the multiple
nature of terminology: for there to be a term without there also being a
system of terminology, within which the difference between terms gives
context and meaning to any one term, is impossible. 'Terminology'
implies precisely difference between terms (thus multiplicity) as the
condition for meaning. The idea of a term without meaning is incoherent,
the count-as-one is a /structural effect/ or a /situational operation/;
it is not an event of 'truth'. Multiples which are 'composed' or
'consistent' are count-effects. 'Inconsistent multiplicity' [/meaning?/]
is [somehow or other] 'the presentation of presentation.'
Badiou's use of set theory in this manner is not just illustrative or
heuristic </wiki/Heuristic>. Badiou uses the axioms </wiki/Axiom> of
ZermeloFraenkel set theory to identify the relationship of being to
history, Nature, the State, and God. Most significantly this use means
that (as with set theory) there is a strict prohibition on
self-belonging; a set cannot contain or belong to itself. Russell's
paradox </wiki/Russell%27s_paradox> famously ruled that possibility out
of formal logic. So too does the axiom of foundation
</wiki/Axiom_of_foundation> or to give an alternative name the axiom
of regularity enact such a prohibition (cf. p. 190 in /Being and
Event/). (This axiom states that all sets contain an element for which
only the void [empty] set names what is common to both the set and its
element.) Badiou's philosophy draws two major implications from this
prohibition. Firstly, it secures the inexistence of the 'one': there
cannot be a grand overarching set, and thus it is fallacious to conceive
of a grand cosmos, a whole Nature, or a Being of God. Badiou is
therefore against Georg Cantor </wiki/Georg_Cantor>, from whom he
draws heavily staunchly atheist </wiki/Atheism>. However, secondly,
this prohibition prompts him to introduce the event. Because, according
to Badiou, the axiom of foundation 'founds' all sets in the void, it
ties all being to the historico-social situation of the multiplicities
of de-centred sets thereby effacing the positivity of subjective
action, or an entirely 'new' occurrence. And whilst this is acceptable
ontologically, it is unacceptable, Badiou holds, philosophically. Set
theory mathematics has consequently 'pragmatically abandoned' an area
which philosophy cannot. And so, Badiou argues, there is therefore only
one possibility remaining: that ontology can say nothing about the event.
Several critics have questioned Badiou's use of mathematics.
Mathematician Alan Sokal </wiki/Alan_Sokal> and physicist Jean Bricmont
</wiki/Jean_Bricmont> write that Badiou proposes, with seemingly "utter
seriousness," a blending of psychoanalysis, politics and set theory
</wiki/Set_theory> that they contend is preposterous.^[13]
<#cite_note-13> Similarly, philosopher Roger Scruton
</wiki/Roger_Scruton> has questioned Badiou's grasp of the foundation of
mathematics, writing in 2012:
There is no evidence that I can find in /Being and Event/ that the
author really understands what he is talking about when he invokes
(as he constantly does) Georg Cantor's theory of transfinite
cardinals, the axioms of set theory, Gdel's incompleteness proof or
Paul Cohen's proof of the independence of the continuum hypothesis.
When these things appear in Badiou's texts it is always allusively,
with fragments of symbolism detached from the context that endows
them with sense, and often with free variables and bound variables
colliding randomly. No proof is clearly stated or examined, and the
jargon of set theory is waved like a magician's wand, to give
authority to bursts of all but unintelligible metaphysics.^[14]
<#cite_note-14>
The event and the subject[edit
BLP_editintro>]
</wiki/File:Badiou-an_original_drawing.jpg>
</wiki/File:Badiou-an_original_drawing.jpg>
Drawing from 18 November 2006 "Truth procedure in politics" lecture
The principle of the event is where Badiou diverges from the majority of
late twentieth century philosophy and social thought, and in particular
the likes of Foucault </wiki/Michel_Foucault>, Butler
</wiki/Judith_Butler>, Lacan </wiki/Jacques_Lacan> and Deleuze
</wiki/Deleuze>, among others. In short, it represents that which is
outside ontology. Badiou's problem here is, unsurprisingly, the question
of how to 'make use' of that which cannot be discerned. But it is a
problem he views as vital, because if one constructs the world only from
that which can be discerned and therefore given a name, it results in
either the destitution of subjectivity and the removal of the subject
from ontology (the criticism continually leveled at Foucault's
discursive universe), or the Panglossian solution of Leibniz
</wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz>: that God is language in its supposed
completion.
Badiou again turns here to mathematics and set theory Badiou's
language of ontology to study the possibility of an indiscernible
element existing extrinsically to the situation of ontology. He employs
the strategy of the mathematician Paul J. Cohen
</wiki/Paul_Cohen_(mathematician)>, using what are called the
/conditions/ of sets. These conditions are thought of in terms of
domination, a domination being that which defines a set. (If one takes,
in binary language, the set with the condition 'items marked only with
ones', any item marked with zero negates the property of the set. The
condition which has only ones is thus dominated by any condition which
has zeros in it [cf. p. 367-71 in /Being and Event/].) Badiou reasons
using these conditions that every discernible (nameable or
constructible) set is dominated by the conditions which don't possess
the property that makes it discernible as a set. (The property 'one' is
always dominated by 'not one'.) These sets are, in line with
constructible ontology, relative to one's being-in-the-world and one's
being in language (where sets and concepts, such as the concept
'humanity', get their names). However, he continues, the dominations
themselves are, whilst being relative concepts, not necessarily
intrinsic to language and constructible thought; rather one can
axiomatically define a domination in the terms of mathematical
ontology as a set of conditions such that any condition outside the
domination is dominated by at least one term inside the domination. One
does not necessarily need to refer to constructible language to conceive
of a 'set of dominations', which he refers to as the indiscernible set,
or the generic set. It is therefore, he continues, possible to think
beyond the strictures of the relativistic constructible universe of
language, by a process Cohen calls forcing
</wiki/Forcing_(mathematics)>. And he concludes in following that while
ontology can mark out a space for an inhabitant of the constructible
situation to decide upon the indiscernible, it falls to the subject
about which the ontological situation cannot comment to nominate this
indiscernible, this generic point; and thus nominate, and give name to,
the undecidable event. Badiou thereby marks out a philosophy by which to
refute the apparent relativism or apoliticism in post-structuralist thought.
Badiou's ultimate ethical maxim is therefore one of: 'decide upon the
undecidable'. It is to name the indiscernible, the generic set, and thus
name the event that re-casts ontology in a new light. He identifies four
domains in which a subject (who, it is important to note, /becomes/ a
subject through this process) can potentially witness an event: love,
science, politics and art. By enacting fidelity to the event within
these four domains one performs a 'generic procedure', which in its
undecidability is necessarily experimental, and one potentially recasts
the situation in which being takes place. Through this maintenance of
fidelity, truth has the potentiality to emerge.
In line with his concept of the event, Badiou maintains, politics is not
about politicians, but activism based on the present situation and the
evental [/sic </wiki/Sic>/] (his translators' neologism) rupture. So too
does love have this characteristic of becoming /anew/. Even in science
the guesswork that marks the event is prominent. He vigorously rejects
the tag of 'decisionist </wiki/Decisionism>' (the idea that once
something is decided it 'becomes true'), but rather argues that the
recasting of a truth comes prior to its veracity or verifiability. As he
says of Galileo </wiki/Galileo> (p. 401):
/When Galileo announced the principle of inertia, he was still
separated from the truth of the new physics by all the chance
encounters that are named in subjects such as Descartes or Newton.
How could he, with the names he fabricated and displaced (because
they were at hand 'movement', 'equal proportion', etc.), have
supposed the veracity of his principle for the situation to-come
that was the establishment of modern science; that is, the
supplementation of his situation with the indiscernible and
unfinishable part that one has to name 'rational physics'?/
While Badiou is keen to reject an equivalence between politics and
philosophy, he correlates nonetheless his political activism and
skepticism toward the parliamentary-democratic process with his
philosophy, based around singular, situated truths, and potential
revolutions.
L'Organisation Politique[edit
P_editintro>]
Alain Badiou is a founding member (along with Natacha Michel
</wiki/Natacha_Michel> and Sylvain Lazarus </wiki/Sylvain_Lazarus>) of
the militant French political organisation /L'Organisation Politique/,
which was active from 1985 until it disbanded in 2007.^[15]
<#cite_note-15> It called itself a post-party organization concerned
with direct popular intervention in a wide range of issues (including
immigration, labor, and housing). In addition to numerous writings and
interventions, /L'Organisation Politique/ stressed the importance of
developing political prescriptions concerning undocumented migrants (les
sans papiers), stressing that they must be conceived primarily as
workers and not immigrants.^[16] <#cite_note-16>
