Text pages are clean crisp and unmarked. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. English text. Bibliographical references 101 are listed. Index. From the preface: "The purpose of this book is to give the theoretical physicist a geometrical visual and precise mathematical apparatus which would be better adapted to some of their arguments than the existing and generally applied methods. The theories presented in this book are based on the theory of Boolean lattices whose elements are closed subspaces in the separable and complete Hilbert-Hermite-space."

‎Nirenberg Ricardo L.‎

‎Uncountable: A Philosophical History of Number and Humanity from Antiquity to the Present‎

‎8vo, hardcover in dj, 420pp. David Nirenberg is dean of the Divinity School at the University of Chicago, where he also teaches in the Committee of Social Thought and the Department of History. His books include Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition; Neighboring Faiths: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism in the Middle Ages and Today; and Communities of Violence: Persecution of Minorities in the Middle Ages. After doing research in mathematics for a dozen years, David&;s father, Ricardo L. Nirenberg, turned to his other calling: philosophy and literature. He has published numerous essays, short fiction, and the novels Cry Uncle and Wave Mechanics: a Love Story. He is the founder and editor of the literary journal. Often enough over these past three thousand years, we humans have pursued these divisions to the death, clashing over differences of opinion about what we should know and how we should know it. We are not talking here only of the many clashes between different religions and cultures of knowledge in the distant past. Even the two world wars of the twentieth century were understood by many who lived through them as the consequence of bad choices about what kinds of knowledge to pursue. World War I, for example, was explained by leading European and American intellectuals as the result of mathematics gone bad, an inhuman fusion of arithmetic and geometry that destroyed Western civilization... Plenty of ideologues found it easy enough to cast the Cold War as a struggle between two different theories of knowledge, &;Marxism&; and &;liberalism,&; &;determinism&; and &;freedom.&; Perhaps future generations will come to see the current arguments about the human impact on climate change as yet another chapter in this long history of humanity&;s division over the nature of knowledge. Today, mathematical forms of knowledge&;computation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, for example&;touch many more aspects of the world than they did in the first half of the twentieth century, or, indeed, in any previous period of this planet&;s history. Divisions between types of knowledge, such as those between the humanities and the sciences&;&;the two cultures,&; as C. P. Snow dubbed them in the year 1959&;are if anything deeper than they have ever been. Yet unlike our predecessors from a century ago, few people today&;except perhaps panicked humanities professors who feel their habitat melting away beneath their feet&;would consider these divisions deeply threatening. Even fewer would claim that understanding them is in some way essential to humanity. We are not writing an Apocalypse. Ours is an attempt to understand these millennial divisions so that we might better live with them. How has humanity pitted its various powers of thought so fiercely against itself? And why have the truth claims of numerical relations emerged so powerful from this conflict? Achieving this understanding is a historical task, and the first half of this book set out to provide that history. In chapters ranging from ancient Greek philosophy and the rise of monotheistic religions to the emergence of modern physics and economics, we trace how ideals, practices, and habits of thought formed over millennia have turned number into the foundation stone of human claims to knowledge and certainty... Learning to live humanely with these divisions is the goal of the second half of this book. These divisions and conflicts of our faculties and our knowledge are not necessary ones. The fragments of our humanity can be brought together in different ways, even in ways that might be truer to basic aspects of the questions we want to ask and the objects we want to know, truer even to our own human being. This book is therefore not only a history. It is also a philosophical and poetic exhortation for humanity to take responsibility for that history, for the knowledge it has produced, and for the many aspects of the world and of humanity that it ignores or endangers. We seek to convince you that how we humans think about our knowledge has deep consequences for how we live our lives and that we need to become more conscious of the first if we wish to change the second&; The discovery and mathematization of repetition and periodicity in the movements of the sun, moon, planets, and even of the stars that so densely packed the preindustrial skies gave many ancient societies a sense that they could project the past into the future: a comforting predictive power in a vast and variable cosmos. Long before written record we find the constellation we call Orion painted by Paleolithic hands on the cave walls of Lascaux. And on the cuneiform tablets of the first Mesopotamian scribes, the verb to count was applied to the skies in the production of astral omens... Today oneirology (the science of dreams) is scarcely a word. The study of magic is confined to anthropologists, historians, or &;the ignorant.&; Astronomy, however, is beneficiary of billions in annual investment from science foundations and is a monument to the ability of the human mind to make some sense of the structure of the universe. The point here is not that knowledge has progressed. (When it comes to dreams, it may even be that a certain kind of self- knowledge has been lost by not attending to them.) Our point is rather that the form of attention we today call scientific has been oriented toward certain kinds of sameness&;in this case formalizable, axiomatic, mathematical&;and not toward others. There are many reasons why this is the case. But one, noted already by the Roman natural philosopher Pliny, writing some two thousand years ago, is that mathematical astronomy provided some seemingly stable powers of prediction about an otherwise overwhelming universe... Pliny thought mathematical astronomers praiseworthy because they derived procedures through which they could predict the movements of the planetary deities, thereby binding &;gods.&; And to the degree that the planets were thought to determine the fate of a person, a science (today we call this astrology, not astronomy) capable of predicting the future position of the planets also offers knowledge about human fate, thereby binding &;men.&; The Aztecs provide a different astronomical example, instructive because it reminds us of the contingency of certainty and the tenacity of fear. They were sophisticated astronomers, but they believed (as did the ancient Egyptians) that the system that kept the sun appearing regularly in the sky was unstable and that the sun might someday fail to rise if humans did not do their part by making offerings to the gods... How could anyone think that human action (let alone sacrifice) is necessary to ensure the dawn? What could be more certain from our experience than the sun&;s rising? And yet the Aztecs were not wrong in worrying about their knowledge of the sunrise. Their refusal to deduce future certainty from previous dawns is defensible in the most sophisticated probabilistic terms. As solar system dynamicists today would tell us, the system is unstable. Yet we moderns expend very little of our still considerable religious energy in keeping the solar system going. Again, the point is not that the Aztecs were bad scientists or that we moderns should be more worried about the sunrise. Our point is simply that the desire for certainty can lead us to extend&;often inappropriately, sometimes disastrously&;lessons, methods, and sciences of sameness from one domain of knowledge into another where perhaps they do not apply.‎
