Just a line to inform readers that I’ve sent in my response to Vangeesa’s critique, as of yesterday. I had earlier thought I’d give it a few days and draft a composite response to all substantive critiques, but thought I’d send in a stand alone response as it warrants a serious attempt at a critical philosophical engagement with my contribution to the GV Special edition.

What is important to note here is that an event is not the realization of a possibility that resides within the situation or that is dependent on the transcendental laws of the world. An event is the CREATION of new possibilities. It is located not merely at the level of objective possibilities but at the level of the possibility of possibilities. ……. We might also say that an event is the occurrence of the real as it’s own future possibility.” -Badiou, The Communist Hypothesis
