Abstract
Starting from the relationship between modern French philosophy and event and time, this article attempts to expound the main idea of the politics of phrase oriented to différend, to compare the differences and similarities between Kant's reflective judgment and the judgment of Lyotard, to analyze the reasons why postmodern art finally leads to the sublime, and thus to point out the special significance of event to postmodern theories. In the end, this article reflects on the oscillation of postmodern theories between the activeness and passiveness of the subject, and the price that elites have to pay for detaching themselves from reality.
