While said to be innovative and new, which is to say novel, Badiou's
claim that mathematics is ontology and the basis of modern mathematics
is set theory; this ontological claim is incorrect. The ontogical
problem of set theory is posed by the problem of dx and differential
calculus on which modern set theory establishes itself.
This undoes or could it be said, deconstructs Badiou's basic ontological
claim to a novel ontology.
