Between two subjects

Abstract

The article examines the part of Badiou's book on Saint Paul, which deals with two figures of the law, two figures of the subject. She reads this two figures of the subject together with Lacan's formula of sexuation from the Seminar XX, Encore. She shows that Badiou who criticizes Lacan claiming that for Lacan female enjoyment has status of unreachable and not of infinite in the true sense of the word, is much closer to Lacan than it looks at first sight. For Lacan there is only one enjoyment which belongs to the order of infinity, however there are two answers to it, two modes of subjectivation.
