In Badiou, Infinity, and Subjectivity: Reading Hegel and Lacan after Badiou, Mohammad Reza Naderi elaborates on the trajectory of Alain Badiou’s philosophy by following a leading thread: the dominance of axiomatic thought and the category of mathematical infinity. According to this primary proposition, axiomatic thought is the only form of thinking adequate to the infinity of being. Using both primary and secondary literature, the author demonstrates two other major propositions: 1) The coherence of Badiou’s intellectual development from the early interventions to the publication of Being and Event, and 2) The formation of a theory Naderi calls "discipline." By working through three dimensions of disciplinary thinking-interiority, novelty, and beginning-Naderi provides a new framework for understanding the inner structure of what Badiou calls "procedures of truths" and develops a new interpretation that ultimately reveals the inner logic of Badiou’s method.

English | ISBN: 1498513182 | 2016 | 262 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In Subjectivity, sixteen leading scholars examine the turn to the subject in modern philosophy and consider its historical antecedents in ancient and medieval thought. Some critics of modernity reject the turn to the subject as a specifically modern error, arguing that it logically leads to nihilism and moral relativism by divorcing the human mind from objective reality. Yet, some important thinkers of the last half-century-including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis, and Bernard Lonergan-consider a subjective starting point and claim to find a similar position in ancient and medieval thought. If correct, their positions suggest that one can adopt the subjective turn and remain true to the tradition.

Free Download Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski, "Omnisubjectivity: An Essay on God and Subjectivity"
English | ISBN: 019768209X | 2023 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski here explains and defends the idea that the God of the monotheistic religions does not only know all objective facts, but he also perfectly grasps the conscious states of all conscious beings from their own point of view. She calls that property omnisubjectivity. God not only knows that you are in pain, for instance, but is present in your pain, grasping your pain the way you grasp it. The same point applies to every feeling, every belief, every thought, every desire you have. It also applies to the conscious states of animals.
