Research Abstract

This study treated mainly two principal works of Alain Badiou,"Being and Event" and "Logics of the world" for the purpose of elucidating the continuity and differences of the two books."Being and Event" is centered and restricted to the mathematical ontology, which disturb the development of discussion to the question of subjectivation and event, final aim of the Badiou's philosophy. I demonstrate that it is{"Logics of the world" that achieves this goal, and that it is the procedure of Generic which is the most important core of Badiou's philosophy of Event.
