The conceptual structure of Alain Badiou's theory of the subject. aug: au: Vihalem, Margus affil: Estonian Institute of Humanities, Tallinn University Uus-Sadama 5, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia su: Badiou, Alain, 1937- Semiotics Subject (Philosophy) Linguistics Philosophy sug: subj: Badiou, Alain, 1937- Semiotics Subject (Philosophy) Linguistics Philosophy ab: The present paper outlines some basic concepts of Alain Badiou's philosophy of the subject, tracking down its inherent and complex philosophical implications. These implications are made explicit in the criticism directed against the philosophical sophistry which denies the pertinence of the concept of truth. Badiou's philosophical innovation is based on three nodal concepts, namely truth, event and subject, and it must be revealed how the afore-mentioned concepts are organized and interrelated, eventually leading to reformulating the concept of the subject. In its exercise, philosophy is intimately affiliated to the four adjacent procedures of mathematics, art, love and politics that could be understood as overall conditions on the margins of which philosophical thinking takes place. Separating philosophy from ontology and charging philosophy with what exceeds being, Badiou transforms it to the general theory of the event. Consequently the concept of the subject is disconnected from that of the object, the subject being not an instance of knowledge, but always a part of generic procedures and thus definable simply as a finite fragment or an operative configuration of the traces of the event. Therefore, it could be stated that Badiou's theory of the subject is formal and refuses all essentialist connotations. Artikkel esitab ja uurib mõningaid Alain Badiou' filosoofia põhimõisteid, jälgides selle keerulisi implikatsioone, mis leiavad väljenduse filosoofilise sofistika vastu suunatud kriitikas. See sofistika eitab tõe mõiste asjakohasust. Badiou filosoofiline innovatsioon toetub kolmele võtmemõistele, milleks on tõde, sündmus ja subjekt. Artikkel püüab vaadelda, kuidas eelmainitud mõisted on tähenduslikult organiseeritud ja omavahel seostatud teatavas filosoofilist laadi semioosises, mis viib välja subjekti mõiste ümbermõtestamiseni. Oma toimimises on filosoofia lähedalt seotud nelja külgneva toiminguga, milleks on matemaatika, kunst, armastus ja poliitika, mida võib mõista kui üleüldisi tingimusi, mille piiril filosoofiline mõtlemine aset leiab. Eraldades filosoofia ontoloogiast ja tehes filosoofia ülesandeks selle, mis ületab olemise, muudab Badiou filosoofia sündmuse üldiseks teooriaks. Seega seotakse subjekti mõiste lahti objekti mõistest, subjekt ei ole teadmise alus, vaid alati osa geneerilistest toimingutest ja sellega defineeritav lihtsalt kui sündmuse jälgede lõplik fragment või toimiv konfiguratsioon. Nii võiks subjektivatsiooniprotsessi seostada semioosiprotsessiga, mida peetakse semiootika üheks keskseks mõisteks. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Sign Systems Studies is the property of University of Tartu and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
