Actually, it hasn't. Apparently there were some problems with the mathematical equations and it needed some reworking and editing.
So despite the fact that I pre-ordered Logic of Worlds back in Jan. (It was set to come out this month, but it got pushed back), there's no telling when it will actually be available. Continuum is publishing it, though, so it should be out sooner than later.
Does Badiou think of the event as the limit of being, where logic is the route to the event? Wouldn't logic then be a self-destructive process according to him?
Logic is not the route to the event. From the POV of the logic of a situation, the event is undecidable (just like the Axiom of Choice is logically independent of Zemelo-Fraenkel set theory.)
Badiou now calls a 'world' what he used to call a situation; the logic of the situation is articulated on the basis of the concept of the transcendental which indexes degrees of intensity of appearance for the elements of a given set (order relation, conjunction, reverse, envelope), the object (atomic logic), and relation. Long story. Check Logics of Worlds for his theory on appearance. For his theses on ontology, Being and Event is prerequisite.
Badiou's philosophy is heading in a similar direction to Baudrillard's with regards to disabling action for political change. Its followers are waiting for an event that such a philosophy perpetually delays through the predetermined directing of set theory: "the event as transcendence" masked behind the concept of the transcendental.
I'm sorry, but how does set theory predeterminately direct thiking into a delay which halts political action? What do you mean by 'predetermined directing'? What do you mean by 'event as transcendence'?
I'm not sure you have understood Badiou properly to be using these terms in such a lax manner. Go do your homework, read, and then come back if you have anything substantial to say. You're just trying to play with big words to score cheap points, but are looking rather ignorant instead.
lol. No problem. You're right, I don't understand Badiou's philosophy, which is also partly why I criticize it, and its followers. Set theory has been directing YOUR thinking; and you misconstrued my words. I said political CHANGE, not 'halts'. Anyway, you answered all your own questions even before you asked me. You said the event in Badiou's philosophy is undecidable from the POV of "the logic of a situation", or "the logic of a world".
So, here we are, in a situation, in a world. And for you, a proponent of Badiou's philosophy, this event is 'undecidable'. So, you've been delaying any change for yourself, your views, and you are quite obstinate as a result (not to mention hypocritically pompous with regards to 'big words').
You are but a self-actualised element in one of Badiou's ontological sets, proceeded by the method of forcing and through the process of collection. However, before, I meant to say 'the event as transcendent, eventuality as transcendence'.
Somehow, only the last part of my answer came out. Anyway, here goes again. I said, you're right. I don't understand Badiou's philosophy, which is partly why I criticize it and its followers. I said it's been disabling action for political CHANGE, not 'halts'. I then said that you already answered your own questions before asking me.
Here we are, in 'a situation', in 'a world', and for you, as a proponent of Badiou's philosophy, the event is 'undecidable': there is not even hope for political change as an immanent event (under Badiou's philosophy). I hope the comments come out properly this time. lol.
Great lecture. Can't wait until Logic of Worlds comes out in English

And what precisely, would "the logic of a situation" be then?
