Language: English
Part of speech: noun

text: 2013, Kenneth Reinhard, Introduction, Susan Spitzer (translator), Alain Badiou, The Incident at Antioch: A Tragedy in Three Acts / L’Incident d’Antioche: Tragédie en trois actes, Columbia University Press, page xxxiii,
After all, when Paul Cohen sent his proof of the undecidability of the continuum hypothesis (which Badiou considers an “event”) to Kurt Gödel in 1963, Gödel wrote back that “reading your proof had a similarly pleasant effect on me as seeing a good play."
