Is anti-philosophy actually just one of many philosophies which is able to better comprehend artistic expression and lead to a mutual consensus?
The aim of the reading group is to approach Badiou’s artistic configuration in Inaesthetics from a philosophical standpoint, as well as from an anti-philosophical ground specifically developed by the influence of his reading of Nietzsche, in his words the “prince of anti-philosophy.” Through Nietzschean anti-Platonism and his entire effort “to be cured of the sickness of Plato” we can ask if Badiou seeks to dance with Nietzsche in Plato’s Republic. What Badiou aims to accomplish by entering the realm of anti-philosophy is to allow philosophy to remain alive and active while creating a rapprochement with art. Does artistic expression as a sensory, intuitive and finite practice demonstrate the potential of rendering the truth of an event (a rupture of given orders of being and understanding) and what role can it play for “true life” to happen? And more generally, how can “the experience of the limit – philosophy as a limit experience” be overcome?
