Mathematics as Sign: Writing, Imagining, Counting
ISBN: 9780804736831 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Two features of mathematics stand out: its menagerie of seemingly eternal objects (numbers, spaces, patterns, functions, categories, morphisms, graphs, and so on), and the hieroglyphics of special notations, signs, symbols, and diagrams associated with them. The author challenges the widespread belief in the extra-human origins of these objects and the understanding of mathematics as either a purely mental activity about them or a formal game of manipulating symbols. Instead, he argues that mathematics is a vast and unique man-made imagination machine controlled by writing. Mathematics as...

Ad Infinitum... the Ghost in Turing's Machine: Taking God Out of Mathematics and Putting the Body Back In. an Essay in Corporeal Semiotics
ISBN: 9780804721288 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This ambitious work puts forward a new account of mathematics-as-language that challenges the coherence of the accepted idea of infinity and suggests a startlingly new conception of counting. The author questions the familiar, classical, interpretation of whole numbers held by mathematicians and scientists, and replaces it with an original and radical alternative-what the author calls non-Euclidean arithmetic. The author's entry point is an attack on the notion of the mathematical infinite in both its potential and actual forms, an attack organized around his claim that any interpretation of...

Becoming Beside Ourselves: The Alphabet, Ghosts, and Distributed Human Being
ISBN: 9780822342007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Becoming Beside Ourselves "continues the investigation that the renowned cultural theorist and mathematician Brian Rotman began in his previous books "Signifying Nothing" and "Ad Infinitum...The Ghost in Turing's Machine" exploring certain signs and the conceptual innovations and subjectivities that they facilitate or foreclose. In "Becoming Beside Ourselves," Rotman turns his attention to alphabetic writing or the inscription of spoken language. Contending that all media configure what they mediate, he maintains that alphabetic writing has long served as the West's dominant cognitive...
