%X This essay is an examination of the limits of the model of the subject that Badiou establishes in emBeing and Event/em. This will concentrate on both emBeing and Event/em, and the later ethical developments introduced in emEthics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil/em. My aim will be to show that there is a possible subjective figure, based on the independence of the Axiom of Choice, which remains unexamined in both these works. The introduction of this new subjective figure not only complicates Badioursquo;s ethical categories of Good and Evil, but it also raises questions about the nature of the subject in general in his philosophy.
