Truth and randomness
pp. 112-142
Abstract
In the preceding chapter I have attempted to keep the Badiouian references to a minimum, so that the material presented therein could stand on its own merits without being subjected to Badiou's authority or veto. The synthesis I strive for between Badiou's ontology and the metaphysics of structure in this chapter is not guided by Badiou, but by my own synoptic commitments to a philosophy making free (but informed) use of heterogeneous sources. The aim of this final chapter, then, is to delineate further and more concretely than I have hitherto done a mutual supplementation of Badiouian ontology and structural realism by suggesting how the former's stance towards truth and ontological incompleteness can be naturalistically reinterpreted as compatible with the latter
