The Mathematical Imagination
Book •
The Mathematical Imagination investigates the historical and conceptual intersections between mathematics and critical theory, particularly within the Frankfurt School tradition.
Matthew Handelman argues that formal and quantitative sciences played a formative but understudied role in shaping continental critiques and philosophical positions.
The book traces debates on mathematization, quantification, and logic to reveal their impact on twentieth-century theory and cultural critique.
By recovering these connections, Handelman seeks to open new dialogues between mathematics and continental philosophy that clarify past misunderstandings.
The work contributes to rethinking how formal sciences inform concepts of experience, representation, and social theory.
