Intimations of Infinity : The Cultural Meanings of the Iqwaye Counting and Number Systems, Hardback Book

Intimations of Infinity : The Cultural Meanings of the Iqwaye Counting and Number Systems Hardback

Part of the Explorations in Anthropology series

Hardback

Description

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.
