Intimations of Infinity: The Cultural Meanings of the Iqwaye Counting and Number Systems (Explorations in Anthropology) - Softcover
Book 17 of 42: Explorations in Anthropology
Synopsis
This is a remarkable work which captures the reader's imagination as only few books do. From a description of the counting system of Iqwaye people of Papua New Guinea, the author develops a deeper and broader interpretation of the Iqwaye kinship system and cosmology, culminating in a powerful critique of western assumptions about the development of rational thought.
