> This workshop considers the importance of "mathematical thinking" for the concepts of linguistic and literary representation, history, and the political. In what way might mathematics be relevant to the efficacy of our statements and judgments? What light can it shed on our capacity to authorize our utterances? What is its bearing on our understanding of the fundamental structure of the world, and the place of human language and action in it? Since space is limited, free registration for this event is strongly encouraged.
