every philosophy has hitherto grown up in conjunction with a mathematic belonging to it. number is the symbol of causal necessity. like the conception of god, it contains the ultimate meaning of the world-as-nature. but the actual number with which the mathematician works, the figure, formula, sign, diagram, in short the number-sign which he thinks, speaks or writes exactly, is (like the exactly-used word) from the first a symbol of these depths, something imaginable, communicable, comprehensible to the inner and the outer eye, which can be accepted as representing the demarcation. the origin of numbers resembles that of the myth. primitive man elevates indefinable nature-impressions (the "alien," in our terminology) into deities, numina, at the same time capturing and impounding them by a name which limits them. nature is the numerable, while history, on the other hand, is the aggregate of that which has no relation to mathematics hence the mathematical certainty of the laws of Nature, the astounding Tightness of Galileo's saying that nature is "written in mathematical language," and the fact, emphasized by kant, that exact natural science reaches just as far as the possibilities of applied mathematics allow it to reach.

Thanks for the schizopost, interesting conjunction with my recently completed list of the Rules of Universality (or Universal Personality) in which Rule 17 states:>Use philosophy to invent a problem, then use mathematics to solve it.
>>525790371You already made your gay KGB thread pushing Russian Orthodoxy and Gnostic insanity. Also numbers had little to do with philosophy in the majority of global works. Your math is "perfect" because they set it up that way, in coordination or it wouldn't work, they added and subtracted to make the symbols work. That's not alien, that's man is the measurement of all things.>I never encountered a mathematician who could reasonAristotle
