Number and numbers

Alain Badiou ; translated by Robin Mackay

The political regime of global capitalism reduces the world to an endless network of numbers within numbers, but how many of us really understand what numbers are? In Number and Numbers Badiou offers a philosophically penetrating account of the attempts made over the last century to define the special status of number.
