Abstract

In Deleuze: The Clamor of Being, Badiou presents his views on Deleuze's ontology, and by enumerating some features in Deleuze's view, he finally calls him a philosopher of the one who relies on the Stoic view of what overthrows Plato. The reader was unsuccessful and his philosophical project has not achieved anything in the end except the surrender of plurality to unity. For Badiou, who considers only the mission of the contemporary philosopher to break away from the concept of unity in any way, concepts such as the spiritual communion of existence and the eternal return will only reach the equality of existence and unity, and even the difference in Deleuze ontology will ultimately be a function of the "same" and a single leader. In this article, we will try to enumerate some of Badiou's critiques on the relationship between Deleuze and the Stoic view, as well as apply the concept of eternal return and his view of Deleuze as a philosopher of the one thing and finally, defend difference and repetition as multiplicity based versions and show that the fundamental root of Badiou's critiques can be seen in his incoherent conception of unity and the deliberate confusion of the concepts of the spiritual commonality of existence and unity.
