The Question of Evil in Alain Badiou, a Contemporary Platonist
Abstract
The way Badiou shows evil arises from his contemporary Platonism in which the idea of truth prevails, but which is the Immanente fruit of the event. Truth is a persistence in the event and only concrete forms of perseverance in the event bring about the appearance of evil. For its articulation Badiou uses its conceptual apparatus where the four conditions of philosophy gain strength: the political, the artisitic, the loving, the artistic and the scientific.
