巴迪欧论“存在”与“事件”

Badiou on Being and Event

巴迪欧对"存在"与"事件"的思考被称为当代哲学的重大事件。他反对海德格尔关于存在的诗歌本体论,提出本体论是数学的,因为希腊哲学的起源是数学而不是诗歌。在巴迪欧看来,存在即无即不一致的纯粹的多,它是无从识别的。现代数学的集合论为不可识别的纯粹的多提供了一个可识别的概念———"集合"。只有集合论能使我们不求助于一的概念而思考存在。存在是纯粹的空无,是无限的无限。存在的不可还原的不一致总会引起一系列突变,而这种突变就是事件。事件是既定情景的断裂,它意味着新的事物的发生,并由此而开启了存在之真理。

Badious thinking on Being and Event is called one of the great events in contemporary philosophy. He rejects Heideggers poetic ontology for a mathematical ontology,because the Greek philosophy originates from Mathematics but not poetry. In Badious opinion,Being is nothing and inconsistent pure multiplicity,it is indiscernible. Modern mathematical set theory provides a concept making it discernible: Set. Set theory only lets us think Being without resorting to the concept of one. Being is pure nothing and infinity of infinities. The irreducible inconsistency of Being always causes a series of mutation,and this mutation is an event. Event is the rupture of given situations,which implies taking place of new things and opens the truth of Being.
