Responding to widespread interest within cultural studies and
social inquiry, this book addresses the question 'what is a
mathematical concept?' using a variety of vanguard theories in the
humanities and posthumanities. Tapping historical, philosophical,
sociological and psychological perspectives, each chapter explores
the question of how mathematics comes to matter. Of interest to
scholars across the usual disciplinary divides, this book tracks
mathematics as a cultural activity, drawing connections with
empirical practice. Unlike other books in this area, it is highly
interdisciplinary, devoted to exploring the ontology of mathematics
as it plays out in different contexts. This book will appeal to
scholars who are interested in particular mathematical habits -
creative diagramming, structural mappings, material agency,
interdisciplinary coverings - that shed light on both mathematics
and other disciplines. Chapters are also relevant to social
sciences and humanities scholars, as each offers philosophical
insight into mathematics and how we might live mathematically.
