Abstract

As we know

Plato and Aristotle are the main representatives of the ancient Greek traditional political philosophy. They all thought the mission of politics is to pursue immortality and share the virtues of the gods

it is the intermediary between mortals and gods. However

modern political philosophers believe that this traditional theory of political philosophy has become outdated after the 20th century. They believe philosophy of truth is over. And there is no connection between politics and truth. Because politics belongs to practical philosophy and truth belongs to metaphysics which is dying. Badiou strongly opposed this. He is not only thoroughly criticized the modern political philosophy

but also inherited the truth thought of ancient Greece for his politics in produces of truth. And also

he borrowed Lazarus' anthropology of names to reveal the politics

as a name

is the search for thought and truth. Furthermore

as the finite human reason

the politics is the intermediary force between the finite and the infinite

the ignorance and the wisdom

the mortal and the gods. All of this is just to teach us how to live as a communist for immortality.
