The concept of the subject is very important for the contemporary French philosopher, Alain Badiou, and it is discussed in works such as the Theory of the subject, Ethics, Being and Event, and the Logic of worlds. Paying attention to the changes and developments in Badiou's thought leads us to the conclusion that his perspective on the subject has also undergone changes. For the first time in his book Theory of the Subject, he examines the concept of the subject. A time still under the influence of Althusser and Mao, Therefore, the basis of the subject is social actions and purely political functions and the ontological foundations of the subject are not examined by him. While, later in the last course of his thought, He writes the book "Being and Occurrence" with an ontological subject as his focus, and his attention to subtractive ontology leads him to a mathematical subject. finally, in the Logic of Worlds, it continues its evolutionary path, one we believe transforms the subject from a purely human and political awe to a finite and abundant part of an infinite truth in subtractive situations. In this article, while examining the above path, we mentioned some criticisms in this regard because we believe that Badiou's explanation of the subject contains flaws that are in conflict with the logic of subtractive ontology.

As the mother of feminism, Simone de Beauvoiris the most important element of the women's struggles in 19th century. Sheholds that women are under oppression in each period of their lives and this oppressionstems from a male-dominated society. Simone de Beauvoirasks women to struggle against this oppression but she didn't direct all problems imposed on women against men. Under the influence ofHeidegger and Sartre's philosophies and drawing on existentialistic views, she considers women as the object versus the subject, the other versus I and the being versus the becoming. In her view, women have been regarded as the 2nd sex in any period of their lives and to have access to their real and transcendent self, they should go over the situation that has been imposed upon them. In one chapter of her 2nd sex, she deals with the impacts of motherhood upon women and retells the women's disasters and problems. The present paper is an attempt to analyze and assessed Beauvoir's views on women's situation as the object, the mother and the 2nd sex who has the role of motherhood and then proceed to show that why becoming a mother cannot leave women from otherness.

This study will survey the significance of theatre in the philosophy of the contemporary French philosopher, Alain Badiou. He is probably the only philosopher in the contemporary world who still regards philosophy as a search for truth. He first mentions four domains of science, politics, art, and love, which are, in a way, reminiscent of Plato’s divisions regarding human and the world. He claims then that truths are produced only in these four domains. As regards the art of theatre, he has theses and ideas unconventional and uncommon to the worlds of art and philosophy, whose understanding requires, to a great extent, an acquaintance, even though elementary, with the main concepts of his intellectual and philosophical system. For Badiou, the event of true theatre is a kind of collective and communal creative act which creates its own specific subject, and in each staging of the theatrical text, the inner idea of the text completes. Badiou believes that theatre thinks, and, even though it is to a great extent dependent on the state, it can and should try to reveal its limitations, to create its own theatrical subject, and to form a new change by creating something new. In the end, it must be noted that the starting point of this discussion is philosophy, and this essay proceeds from Badiou’s philosophy toward the art of theatre.
