Metaphysics being the study of reality’s deep structure. (I wouldn’t be able to give a good definition of maths though).

they both start with an m and end with an s

Mathematics is a language used to describe the physical world, as the physical world is a language to describe God/The One/The Absolute

Metaphysics is nonsense by people too lazy (or stupid) for actual physics.

The connection is logic, meaning formal languages.

metaphysics is exactly what is not physics, ie retardation passed as non-schizo by gurus desperate to build a cult. That's the definition of metaphysics by the guy who created it, ie Aristotle.

badious central premise is that mathematics is ontology i.e. presentation
he follows the creation of set theory from cantor to zfl and seeks to show how reality is presented as various sets
using the development of set theory and issues that arise along the way e.g. russells paradox to discuss a variety of issues of philosophy particularly in plato in mathematical terms
as the title suggests events are central within badious work they present a disruption of existing order and create new sets or forms of presentation
this is where the event becomes a central element of his theory providing a “site of truth” for shifts in the order of representation
in a sense it can be thought of as an effort to mathematize hermeneutics analyzing shifts in frameworks of understanding through set theory
it should be mentioned that badiou is a french maoist once i heard this book described as "an attempt to use math to show that communist revolutions are good”
overall it’s an easy read anyone regardless of any prior knowledge of philosophy can enjoy

Philosoplebs have been cucked out of their own field by mathematicians and physicists. You need to know at least formal logic, quantum mechanics, relativity, stochastic processes, game theory, theory of computation, information theory etc etc before talking about metaphysics. If your idea of metaphysics relies on a computable universe with local hidden variables in absolute time then it is simply factually wrong. Philosoplebs are not even aware anymore of all the established facts and proven theorems contradicting their bullshit.

You need metaphysics at minimum to explain counterfactuals and causation (so you need a modal metaphysics), and to explain how our thoughts latch on to the correct joints in nature and not gerrymandered variants that preserve truth (so you need a postmodal hyperintensional metaphysics of fundamentality). The sciences depend on at least these two things.

>You need metaphysics at minimum to explain counterfactuals and causation (so you need a modal metaphysics)
Counterfactuals are logic unless you consider that part of metaphysics. Causation isn't explained by metaphysics, you may have heard about Hume's problem of induction.
>and to explain how our thoughts latch on to the correct joints in nature and not gerrymandered variants that preserve truth
Lol you think science has this? Aristotle's physics kind of worked but it's really just an approximation(or a gerrymandered variant that preserves truth in your words) and he invented metaphysics. Didn't seem to help.
