Editor's Preface.

Alain Badiou.

Thinking the Event.

Thesis 1: Thought is the proper medium of the universal.

Thesis 2: Every universal is singular, or is a singularity.

Thesis 3: Every universal originates in an event, and the event is intransitive to the particularity of the situation.

Thesis 4: A universal initially presents itself as a decision about an undecidable.

Thesis 5: The universal has an implicative form.

Thesis 6: The universal is univocal.

Thesis 7: Every universal singularity remains incompletable or open.

Thesis 8: Universality is nothing other than the faithful construction of an infinite generic multiple.

Slavoj Zizek.

'Philosophy is not a dialogue'.

Discussion.
