Void

Truth, ethics, and Evil are significant concepts for philosophy and Alain Badiou attempted to approach them with a new perspective. However, he reconsidered these concepts in engagement with Lacanian psychoanalysis. This study aims to shed light more on Badiou’s ideas of situation, knowledge, event, void, truth, Evil, and ethics, with a focus on meeting points with Lacanian terms and theory. The first six terms are examined concerning Lacanian theory of four Discourses in order to represent how truth changes a situation and frameworks of knowledge through the appearance of the event and in what way a philosopher or analyst can approach them through truth-procedures. On the other hand, Badiou elaborates on Evil with respect to ethics and truth. This study also introduces neurosis, pervert, and psychosis as structures to analyze Evil since they might be involved in it as simulacrum, betrayal, and disaster, respectively. Ultimately, this exploration contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of truth, ethics, and Evil, emphasizing the need for critical inquiry and ethical reflection in navigating the challenges of a situation and knowledge.
