Abstract

In this article, I pose the question of how to formulate a positive conception of God after the death of God. I propose to reconstruct the concept of God through Badiou’s concept of the absolute from his book The Immanence of Truths. I proceed in three steps. In the first step, I conceive of God as the real as being different from the symbolic and the imaginary. In the second step, I introduce Badiou’s conception of the mathematical absolute as real and I conceive of this absolute as God. In the third step, I show that it is necessary to conceptually construct a relation between the subject and the absolute, which is not fully articulated in Badiou, and that this relation can be established through religious concepts, provided that we maintain the ontological ISR difference.
