The Concept of Model: An Introduction to the Materialist Epistemology of MathematicsThe Concept of Model is the first of Alain Badiou's early books to be translated fully into English. With this publication English readers finally have access to a crucial work by one of the world's greatest living philosophers.

The Concept of Model is the first of Alain Badiou's early books to be translated fully into English. With this publication English readers finally have access to a crucial work by one of the world's greatest living philosophers. Written on the eve of the events of May 1968, The Concept of Model provides a solid mathematical basis for a rationalist materialism. Badiou's concept of model distinguishes itself from both logical positivism and empiricism by introducing a new form of break into the hitherto implicated realms of science and ideology, and establishing a new way to understand their disjunctive relation. Readers coming to Badiou for the first time will be struck by the clarity and force of his presentation, and the key place that The Concept of Model enjoys in the overall development of Badiou's thought will enable readers already familiar with his work to discern the lineaments of his later radical developments. This translation is accompanied by a stunning new interview with Badiou in which he elaborates on the connections between his early and most recent thought. "This book is indispensable for those seeking to understand Alain Badiou's philosophical project, and for anyone interested in investigating real points of contact between the analytic and continental traditions." - Ray Brassier, Middlesex University

They work as they should
But they wouldn't work for what I needed. I purchased these but the Steam Deck to take stress off the top USB C port when charging, but they're a bit too small to fit. I can find other uses for them. They feel really well abs built to last. Cables and ports seem very secure when connected.

Nice to Have 90° Angle USB-C Adapters
The Herfair 180 Degree USB C Adapter is compact, simple to use, and fits snugly inside the USB C ports I've plugged it into. I got it to use with my Steam Deck, since the charging port comes out of the top of the device, and holding it with the cord sticking out of the top creates unneeded pressure. Something like the Nintendo Switch has the port coming out of the bottom, but then you can't comfortably rest the device in your lap. The benefit of using this adapter is that I'm now getting the best of both worlds. It extends just enough to let the cord freely travel down the back of the Deck, but it's compact enough that I can set the Deck down on a flat surface and the adapter doesn't touch the desk or tabletop. Even better, it fits right alongside the exhaust fan attachment that I use to keep the Deck cool. All in all, this adapter did exactly what I was hoping it would and fits so well that I can pretty much forget it's there unless I'm putting the Deck in its carrying case. I'm really glad to have this!
