Towards a new definition of truth

ABSTRACT:

Towards a new definition of truth. This article summarizes the philosophical project of Alain Badiou based on the division of his masterwork in three volumes. In Being and Event, the author approached the question of truth in relation to the being: a theory of the being as generic multiplicity. In Logics of Worlds, the same question was thought from the viewpoint of apparition: a logical of the incorporation of truths, according to its local distribution in different worlds. In The Immanence of Truth, a book to be published, Badiou will retake the being and the apparition from the perspective of a theory of the truths: a dialectics between finitude and infinitude, an encounter of philosophy and life.

Keywords:
Truth; subject; being; philosophy; true life
