Philosophy of the Event

More information

Via Benjamin Suriano

"For a post-Marxist shift beyond the standpoint of labor and toward the thematics of the event and its fidelity see

• Alain Badiou, Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism, trans. Ray Brassier (Stanford, CA:

Stanford University Press, 2003); For similar emphases but in relation to the negativity of the void,

• Slavoj Zizek, The Puppet and the Dwarf: The Preverse Core of Christianity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2003);

For a different post-Marxist angle more indebted to Heidegger, and revolving more around the void of bare life see,

• Giorgio Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, trans. Daniel Heller-Roazen

(Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1998)."
