Event, politics, resistance, ethics, militancyAbstract
I want to defend here a double reading of Badiou’s ethical-political proposal: on the one hand, while his description of the event opens the possibility of a resignification of the social order as a whole, and of an idea of plausible political resistance; on the other hand the derivation of this resignification towards ethics tends to formalize itself to the extreme and thus to fall into an inoperative position precisely in the political and social arena in which it pretended a renovation. As a consequence, his intending for a militancy of philosophers ends up to be equivocal, since he does not clarify the tactical role that such a militancy would have.
