My sincere thanks to David Bircumshaw, Edmund Hardy, David Latane,
Michael Peverett, and Peter Riley for responding to my original
message.
(I could never be the Moderator of an e-list. I do not have Internet
access except at two institutions, where I have other work to do as
well. During busy and indeed frenzied times, I am away from the
Internet for long periods of time.)
It was certainly NOT my intention to suggest that we [anyone] treat
Badiou as a "calf of gold." However, I am always intrigued when I
find the rare scientist or mathematician who includes poetry and the
arts in the full-matrix of life.
So many do not.
We live in a world of one-dimensions, and exclusions. And it is
becoming more and more difficult to resist let alone fight against the
processes of
that world.
Best regards to all !!!
