New Truths in Alain Badiou’s Thought

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, I examine Badiou’s idea of the “infinite value of truth” as an important imperative of our post-truth era. The main concepts essential for understanding the creation of truth include the mathematical system of set theory, events, and the relationships between truth and the subject, truth and politics, and truth and art. The condition of truth appears to be essential for Badiou’s notion of real life. By gaining a better understanding of what truth can be, we can explore different visions and understandings of the future to come.
