In doing so, he sets out the basic onto-logical requirements of his greater and transcendental logics as articulated in his magnum opus, \u003ci\u003eLogics of Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously unpublished in either French or English, \u003ci\u003eMathematics of the Transcendental\u003c\/i\u003e provides Badiou's readers with a much-needed complete elaboration of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 \u003ci\u003eLogics of Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e and other works, and is essential reading for his many followers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463581057260,"sku":"9781474286459","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781474286459-mathematics-of-the-transcendental.jpg?v=1775034875","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mathematics-of-the-transcendental-by-alain-badiou-9781474286459","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
