The essays deal with a vast array of topics on the exact sciences: Leibniz’s logic, mereology, the notion of infinity and cardinality, the foundations of geometry, the theory of curves and differential geometry, and finally dynamics and general epistemology. Several chapters attempt a reading of Leibniz’s scientific works through modern mathematical tools, and compare Leibniz’s results in these fields with 19th- and 20th-Century conceptions of them. All of them have special care in framing Leibniz’s work in historical context, and sometimes offer wider historical perspectives that go much beyond Leibniz’s researches. A special emphasis is given to effective mathematical practice rather than purely epistemological thought. The book is addressed to all scholars of the exact sciences who have an interest in historical research and Leibniz in particular, and may be useful to historians of mathematics, physics, and epistemology, mathematicians with historical interests, and philosophers of science at large. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Leibniz’s Mereology; Leibniz and the Calculus of Variations; The Logic of Containment and Coincidence; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-25572-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-25574-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-25572-5Series ISSN 0068-0346 Series E-ISSN 2214-7942 | issn_series | 0068-0346 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
