Intimations of Infinity: The Cultural Meanings of the Iqwaye Counting and Number Systems: Explorations in Anthropology

Autor Jadran Mimica
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iul 1988
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.
