Mathematics of the Transcendental
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-4411-8924-0 (ISBN)
Previously unpublished in either French or English, Mathematics of the Transcendental provides Badiou's readers with a much-needed complete elaboration of his understanding and use of category theory. The book is vital to understanding the mathematical and logical basis of his theory of appearing as elaborated in Logics of Worlds and other works and is essential reading for his many followers.
Alain Badiou teaches at the École Normale Supérieure and at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris, France. In addition to several novels, plays and political essays, he has published a number of major philosophical works. A. J. Bartlett is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Research Unit in European Philosophy at Monash University, Australia. He is the author of Badiou and Plato: An Education by Truths, and with Justin Clemens and Jon Roffe author of Lacan, Deleuze, Badiou, forthcoming. Alex Ling is Research Lecturer in Communication and Media Studies at the University of Western Sydney, Australia. He is the author of Badiou and Cinema, and Badiou Reframed, forthcoming.
