Abstract

GPS-based online dating sites make love becomes transactional. To examine this declaration, an analysis to interpret the meaning of love needs to perform. Sigmund Freud’s and Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis, pioneered analyzing love as an object of inquiry. This study analyzes the works of Freud and Lacan, which elaborate on love. The interpretation of love is required to put love in the proper context. According to Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, love is merely a byproduct of drive or desire; thus, it implies that love is unconscious. Saying love has become meaningless is an exaggeration because we cannot place any ethical consideration on it since love is a primordial human instinct like hunger and thirst.

Abstract

Plato was the first philosopher who discussed love philosophically. The discussion can be found in his work entitled Symposium. Through text analysis of Symposium, the perspective of Plato about love and the position of love in philosophical discourse can be concluded. For Plato, ultimate love does not have a relation to the body anymore. Plato believed that love is hierarchical, and it ascends from the lower level to the higher level as illustrates in Scala Amoris. The ultimate love is about a mental state which aims to gain absolute beauty and it is the highest level of love. However, in romantic relationships, love is not only about the mental state but also physical contact because romantic love relates to sexual things such as sexual intimacy. And according to Plato, love that still has attachment to the body is the lowest level of love. Thus, Plato's perspective about romantic love cannot be said as positive because romantic love strongly relates to the body. Plato believed that the highest level of love has left body behind, and it only focuses on mental aspiration.

Abstract

Alain Badiou's mathematical philosophy generated sustained controversy because it assigned axiomatic set theory a constitutive role in ontology and used mathematical concepts to rethink being, multiplicity, truth, and event. Previous debates had often evaluated these issues separately, leaving the relationship between mathematical rigor and philosophical appropriation insufficiently clarified. This study aimed to critically reconstruct the major controversies surrounding Badiou's mathematical philosophy by examining three interconnected problems: mathematics as ontology, being as multiplicity, and the event. The study employed a qualitative philosophical-textual design using conceptual analysis, critical textual interpretation, and comparative philosophical analysis. Being and Event and Badiou's published responses to critics were examined alongside mathematically informed critiques and philosophical commentaries. The sources were analyzed through close reading, comparative conceptual analysis, and source triangulation. The findings showed that the main disputes arose from differences between the technical meanings of mathematical concepts and the philosophical functions Badiou assigned to them. The study found that mathematics as ontology did not entail a literal identity between mathematical objects and beings, that Badiou's rejection of the One concerned ontological unity rather than numerical singularity, and that the contingency of the event did not necessarily imply political fatalism because transformation also depended on fidelity and sustained construction. The study concluded that Badiou's philosophy was best understood through formal conditioning, rather than literal equivalence or unrestricted metaphorization, between mathematics and philosophy. The study contributed an integrated interpretation of Badiou's ontology by connecting debates on mathematics, being, and event within a single analytical framework and clarifying how mathematical formalization could condition philosophical thought without collapsing the distinction between the two domains.
