- Double-weighted statement
- Badiou and Indifferent Being is monograph of significant length, 120k words, forming the first part of a two-volume critical study of Badiou’s immense Being and Event Project. The two volumes of this study were then written back-to-back to make sure both volumes were current with Badiou’s changing positions, an undertaking that required writing well over 300k words before publication. The source material for the book consists of well over 1000 pages of closely argued, technically difficult application of two kinds of mathematics to philosophy. This required that Watkin spend years learning first mathematical set theory, and then category theory.
