In Mathematics of the Transcendental, Alain Badiou painstakingly works
through the pertinent aspects of category theory, demonstrating their
internal logic and veracity, their derivation and distinction from set
theory, and the 'thinking of being'. In doing so he sets out the basic
onto-logical requirements of his greater and transcendental logics as
articulated in his magnum opus, Logics of Worlds. 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unpublished in either French or English, Mathematics of the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.
