The Event Names the Void
Explore Badiou's core claim about events, fidelity, and truth.
“The ==event== names the ==void== inasmuch as it names the not-known of the ==situation==. [...] A subject is thus, by the grace of names, both the real of the procedure and the hypothesis that its unfinishable result will introduce some newness into presentation. A subject emptily names the universe to-come which is obtained by the supplementation of the ==situation== with an indiscernible truth. [...] Being of a truth = 'the generic.' Truth procedure = generic procedure. Subject = 'local active dimension of a truth procedure.' — Alain Badiou, Being and Event (1988, trans. Oliver Feltham, 2005); summary notes by John Protevi”
