Abstract

The chapter carves out the meaning and implications of a postfoundational hauntology of global normative order(s). The study concludes that a postfoundational perspective renders universal claims to ontological identity null and void. In this light, global normative order seems as possible and impossible as any order because it is discursively articulated by human beings alone and has no ontological ground that could prescribe its ontic content. Postfoundational difference, however, turns out to generate more than mere particularistic pluralism or arbitrariness of orders because it imposes on human beings the need to repeatedly decide their social identities and (global) normative orders.

“Badiou thinks that the void, having no members of its own (in the situation presented by set theory it figures as the empty set) does not belong to any particular situation—which means that it belongs to them—but that, as far as human situations are concerned, the subjects of a truth that affirms the event addresses pure and simple universality.” Laclau, “An Ethics of Militant Engagement,” 189.
