Mesto subjekta v Badioujevi teoriji discipline

Alain Badiou’s theory of discipline condenses many important theoretical tools that he developed throughout his long encounter with various philosophical and political milieus from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s, when he wrote his magnum opus Being and Event. Through this vast terrain, Badiou expressed seemingly different commitments: from logic and the epistemology of science in the late 1960s and politics during the 1970s, to ontology and mathematics in the 1980s, which has continued to this time. However, a close reading of his major works during this period reveals an internal thread of thought that runs between them, which I have named discipline. In other words, discipline is the framework within which we can reconstruct Badiou’s main ideas as part of a continuous work (during the stated period) that not only reveals the internal coherence of his overall thought over the course of time, within which he showed different and seemingly unrelated commitments, but also gives us a powerful tool to understand the key concepts of his philosophy, such as the procedures of truth, ontology, phenomenology, and his commitment to axiomatic thinking. In this essay we aim to examine the concept of the subject in relation to the theory of discipline. We will do so by examining Badiou’s encounter with two crucial aspects of the theory of the subject discussed by Lacan: the Cartesian cogito and the relation of the subject to the mathematical infinite.Teorija discipline Alaina Badiouja združuje številna pomembna teoretska orodja, ki jih je razvil med svojimi večkratnimi srečevanji z različnimi filozofskimi in političnimi okolji od sredine šestdesetih do sredine osemdesetih let, ko je napisal svoj magnum opus Biti in dogodek. Na tem obsežnem terenu je Badiou izražal na videz različne zaveze: od logike in epistemologije znanosti v poznih šestdesetih in politike v sedemdesetih letih do ontologije in matematike v osemdesetih, kar se je nadaljevalo vse do danes. Vendar pozorno branje njegovih glavnih del v tem obdobju razkrije notranjo miselno nit, ki poteka med njimi in ki sem jo poimenoval disciplina. Z drugimi besedami, disciplina je okvir, znotraj katerega lahko rekonstruiramo Badioujeve glavne ideje kot del kontinuiranega dela (v navedenem obdobju), ki ne razkriva le notranje koherentnosti njegove misli skozi čas, znotraj katere je pokazal različne in na videz nepovezane zaveze, temveč nam daje tudi orodje za razumevanje ključnih konceptov njegove filozofije, kot so postopki resnice, ontologija, fenomenologija in njegova zavezanost aksiomatskemu mišljenju. Namen tega članka je preučiti pojem subjekta v luči teorije discipline. To bomo storili tako, da bomo preučili Badioujevo srečanje z dvema ključnima vidikoma teorije subjekta, ki ju je obravnaval Lacan: kartezijanski cogito in razmerje med subjektom in matematičnim neskončnim
