Omslag till Jadran Mimica: Intimations of Infinity (PDF)

This is a remarkable work which captures the reader’s imagination as only few books do. From a description of the counting system of Iqwaye people of Papua New Guinea, the author develops a deeper and broader interpretation of the Iqwaye kinship system and cosmology, culminating in a powerful critique of western assumptions about the development of rational thought.
