Number and the between
pp. 15-44
Abstract
This chapter discusses the topic of mediation, number and mathematics. It aims to find a way to think of mathematics as the soul of reality by means of Wittgenstein and Cantor. This chapter reflects on the modern attempts to rethink mathematics in terms of logics. In Milbank's view, a revision of this could support the "third way" of a theistic metaphysics, which must, after Erich Przywara and William Desmond, be a metaphysics of the analogy of being or metaxology.
