| Mar 4, 2017 at 18:03 | comment | added | ClearMountainWay | Just a final comment.. in Logic of Worlds Badiou discusses what he learned from Deleuze's critique of Being & Event, which is very helpful for historiographic purposes since his tone is overtly hostile in his book "Deleuze", and clarifies what he felt the need to do in Logic of Worlds to account for what he feels is unarticulated in Deleuze's conception of the Event and his critique of the older Badiouan concept in Being & Event, which is the ability to account for discontinuity. In fact he explicitly states that he is reversing Deleuze's axioms to come up with his own on pgs 381-7. | |
| Mar 3, 2017 at 1:06 | comment | added | ClearMountainWay | I just realized there was another aspect to the question: is it a notion with earlier antecedents? I would say that the closest philosophical precedents would be in Heidegger's notion of being as being-on-the-way, Ereignis and Deleuze's concept of the Event. Heidegger is the one he would explicitly make the connection with but it's fairly certain that the Deleuzian concept is an equal if not greater influence but because of politics (his 1970's antagonism of Deleuze starting at the University of Vincennes) he doesn't mention anything positive he gained from him until 10 years after his death. | |
