What Number Is God? Metaphors, Metaphysics, Metamathematics, and the Nature of Things by Sarah Voss (State University of New York Press, 1995) 214 pages. A volume in the SUNY series in Western Esoteric Traditions, David Appelbaum, editor. paperback ISBN 0-7914-2418-9 hardcover ISBN 0-7914-2417-0 This book explores the historical connection between religion and mathematics and uses modern mathematical metaphors to better understand religion and philosophy. Citing many examples, Voss traces how humankind has long used mathematics metaphorically to understand and make sense of life's most fundamental questions. As Voss shows, contemporary society also uses metaphors of mathematics to investigate such issues, though in a fashion that is frequently overlooked or denied. The intentional use of contemporary mathematical ideas as metaphors for metaphysical notions can have a dramatic impact on modern society, in part by providing new symbols to replace old religious language which has lost its power to excite. What Number Is God? is a part of the State University of New York (SUNY) Series in Western Esoteric Traditions. For excerpts from reviews of this book, click What Number Reviews.
