?

freakin' hope not. whatever you do, please don't mention it to sokal, else he'll haul me up before the tribunal of reason on a charge of disturbing the demarcations. i swear, i never do mathematics, not even sums, officer. [wimper]

(((((((((

Charles: Is it a philosophical concept ? What's relative integrity ? Has he no dialectic of absolute and relative truth ? And what of the relationship between thought and being ?

Angela: does anyone know: when did mathematics and philosophy split, btw?

(((((((((((

Charles: Were Archimedes and Euclid philosophers ?
