| Abstract: | The article reflects on Alain Badiou’s philosophy of the subject as a powerful resource in rethinking the link between philosophy and politics. It argues that there is a significant gap between power and governance as “management” without the true subject of politics as such. Modern politics must, therefore, constantly constitute the reasons for the existence of this subject, although it, like society and state, already disappeared with the advent of the post-imperial sovereignty or appears as a relic of the historical deterioration of the meaning of democracy. One of the main goals of the present paper is to inquire whether Badiou’s manifestos of thinking politics apart from the structural normatives actually mean that there are still potentials for the advent of “the revolutionary event” or do we today live in a world of “wars without revolutions”; the latter would suggest that politics has been left without a subject, and society without a substance, which is why the logic of absolute control is at work as the total mobilization of transcendent and immanent power. |
