Abstract
Philosopher Benardete challenged both the conven-
tional wisdom and the received mathematical treatment of zero,
dot, nine recurring. An initially puzzling passage in Benardete on
the intelligibility of the continuum reveals challenging insights into
number systems, the foundations of modern analysis, and mathe-
matics education.
