Book Review "Subjektivitas dalam Filsafat Politik Alain Badiou dan Slavoj Zizek" (Subjectivity in Political Philosophy by Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek)

Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek are two philosophers who are known to be quite provocative in voicing renewal in the face of world politics. Both simultaneously want to restore the position of political subjects who are considered dead at the intersection of philosophy and politics. The book entitled “Subjektivitas dalam Filsafat Politik Alain Badiou dan Slavoj Zizek”, this book simply discusses Badiou and Zizek's understanding of political subjects that are considered to have misguided capitalism. The book by R. Setiawan consists of three chapters written theoretically. The first chapter contains the background of Alain Badiou and Badiouian's theoretical framework. The second chapter discusses the background of Slavoj Zizek and Zizekian's theoretical framework. Finally, the third chapter discusses the future of the Badiousian and Zizekian subjects regarding the reincarnation of political subjects, St. Paul's militancy and radicalism, and the confrontation of Levinasian and Derridean ethics. The purpose of writing this book review, apart from being an assignment for the Philosophy of Science course, also aims to provide a reference on how Badiou and Zizek understand the theory of critical political subjects.
