The task this essay set for itself is a reconsideration of the status of the “object” in contemporary forms of philosophical realism that postulate “flat ontologies.” I argue that the theoretical construction of the “object” often comes about in these ontologies through a fetishistic disavowal that effectively makes these objects speak. As a result, the construction of the generalized field of objectivity (according to which everything that exists is an object) passes through a double articulation. On the one hand, since contemporary realism defines itself as a rejection of all forms of linguistic idealism, it also tries to shift the focus away from human language as the primary medium of the construction of objectivity. On the other hand, however, this demotion of language proceeds in these works simultaneously with the elevation of the concept of “translation” to an ontological principle: these non-linguistic objects exist through their perpetual translations of each other. The fetishistic disavowal at work in realism (we know very well that objects do not speak, yet we act as if objectivity had to be construed as a field of translation) introduces the modality of fiction into the very heart of objectivity. This fictional dimension constitutive of objectivity can be described through an engagement of the Kantian notion of “purposiveness.” I argue that these translations that supposedly constitute objectivity rest on the fundamental presupposition that guides the entire Kantian system: we must presuppose purposiveness even where we can detect no evidence of it at all. Hence, today, the theory of the “democracy of objects” must be supplemented by its necessary correlate, a theory of the “conspiracy of objects.”

This paper examines the relationship between philosophy and its conditions. The affirmation “mathematics is ontology”, which I posited thirty years ago, has certain inconveniences. In this article, I present six varying possibilities for ontology. My own philosophical decision was to proclaim that being is a pure multiplicity, without the One and without any specific attribute such as “matter” or “spirit”. This movement of thought brought me to study the mathematical condition of philosophy and to search for a rigorous structuration of my speculative decision within the field of mathematics. However, my initial postulate that “Being is the multiplicity without the One” is not a mathematical but a philosophical statement. This paper concludes with a presentation of the relationship between mathematics and philosophy in Being and Event, Logics of Worlds, and The Immanence of Truths.

This work proposes a reading of Laclau’s theory on populism using concepts from topology applied to dynamical systems. The analogical correspondences are established between the elements used in the reconstruction of a topological structure from data and categories such as discourse, hegemony, demand, empty and floating signifier, antagonism, and heterogeneity.

Isaac Newton večkrat zapiše misel, da je bistvo teles za človeško spoznanje nedosegljivo. V članku bom iskal odgovor na vprašanje, zakaj po Newtonu niti naše čutnozaznavno spoznavanje teles niti nobena refleksivna, miselna dejavnost ne omogoča, da bi lahko prišli do spoznanja njihovega bistva ali narave, kar pomeni, da je to omejeno na njihovo pojavnost. Odgovor na to vprašanje predstavlja Newtonov teološki voluntarizem, ki ga je v izrecni navezavi na problematiko narave teles v polnosti prvič razvil v rokopisu O težkosti (De gravitatione). Newtonov Bog bi lahko ustvaril bivajoče stvari (entia), ki bi bile na pojavni ravni popolnoma istovetne telesom, vendar po svoji metafizični in bistveni konstituciji ne bi bile telesa. Newtonov teološki voluntarizem ima tudi druge daljnosežne epistemološke posledice, kot je ta, da lahko Bog po svoji volji svobodno spreminja zakone narave.

This paper argues that Cantorian transfinite cardinality is not a necessary assumption for the ontological claims in Badiou’s L’Être et l’Événement (Vol. 1). The necessary structure for Badiou’s mathematical ontology in this work was only the ordinality of sets. The method for reckoning the sizes of sets was only assumed to follow the standard Cantorian measure. In the face of different and compelling forms of measuring non-finite sets (following Benci and Di Nasso, and Mancosu), it is argued that Badiou’s project can indeed accommodate this pluralism of measurement. In turn, this plurality of measurement implies that Badiou’s insistence on the “subtraction of the one”, the move to affirm the unconditioned being of the “inconsistent multiple”, results in the virtuality of the one, a pluralism of counting that further complicates the relationship between the one and the multiple in the post-Cantorian era.
本文认为，Cantorian超限基数不是Badiou的《L’specified tre et L’Événement》（Vol.1）中本体论主张的必要假设。Badiou数学本体论在这部作品中的必要结构只是集合的平凡性。计算集合大小的方法只被假设为遵循标准的康托度量。面对不同且引人注目的测量非有限集的形式（继Benci和Di Nasso以及Mancosu之后），有人认为Badiou的项目确实可以适应这种测量的多元化。反过来，这种测量的多元性意味着Badiou对“一的减法”的坚持，即对“不一致的多元性”的无条件存在的肯定，导致了一的虚拟性，一种计数的多元性，使后康托尔时代的一和多元之间的关系进一步复杂化。

The aim of the essay is to revive the philosophy of language of the Soviet linguist Valentin Volochinov, by revisiting his concept of the utterance as enthymeme: the meaning of an utterance is not fully determined by the linguistic system, but is dependent on its insertion in a social situation, which it refracts rather than reflects, thus giving rise to evaluations. The essay proceeds by analysing a number of such enthymemes (a grammatical example, an advertisement, a comedian’s joke), moving towards literature and a definition of a realism of form rather than content, of refraction rather than reflection, examples of which are to be found in the works of Thackeray.
