Mathematics:
“When Euler introduced topology he for the first time made the beginning of the return to conceptuality out of seemingly complete abstract mathematics, where you would come into completely empty sets you thought, where you could have complete substitution of symbols for numbers and you could just play the game of symbols. Euler said, we are dealing in pattern. Mathematics is pattern, he said, and there are irreducible aspects of pattern. . . .”
