====================== And one may at once see why Whitehead, who knew his Locke and Hume all too well, and others wanted to get rid of an ontology of objects/properties and develop a rigorous theory of *events*. Perhaps we can begin to appreciate what Badiou is trying to do a little differently without drifting toward mysticism/ineffabilism on the issue of value and the *mere guess* that it can be mathematized like space-time in our best models.
