On Badiou
Badiou duality: aniimal life, humans, event happens we are interpellated into subjects. Badiou’s ontological edifice there is no place for psychoanalysis, what psychoanalysis calls the Death Drive
Subjectivity linked to this is not human animal, but not yet the Badiouian EVENT. Badiou almost becomes a dualist: His mistake is animal life, there is NO SUCH thing as animal life, humans funcitoning in pleasure principle. NO DEATH DRIVE MEANS WE ARE constantly sabotaging ourselves. Animal life and the truth event doesn’t cover the whole field. Look at how Badiou talks about death drive, death drive for him is morbid etc. THere has to be a 3rd dimension, he tries to read death drive as the shadow of the Event. You have to have anxiety at evental site, but for him in Theory of Subject his best book, he is well aware of necessity of anxiety but it is just a retroactive shadow of the event, but I have my doubts I am more Lacanian here.
