Download or read book Reasoning with the Infinite written by Michel Blay and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the Scientific Revolution, the nature and motions of heavenly objects were mysterious and unpredictable. The Scientific Revolution was revolutionary in part because it saw the advent of many mathematical tools—chief among them the calculus—that natural philosophers could use to explain and predict these cosmic motions. Michel Blay traces the origins of this mathematization of the world, from Galileo to Newton and Laplace, and considers the profound philosophical consequences of submitting the infinite to rational analysis. "One of Michael Blay's many fine achievements in Reasoning with the Infinite is to make us realize how velocity, and later instantaneous velocity, came to play a vital part in the development of a rigorous mathematical science of motion."—Margaret Wertheim, New Scientist
Download or read book The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 6 written by John Slater and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years covered by this volume of the Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell were among the most productive, philosophically speaking, of Russell's entire career. In addition to the papers reprinted here, he bought Principia Mathematica to its finished form and wrote The Problems of Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge and Knowledge of the External World. In October 1910 he began teaching at Cambridge, having accepted an appointment as lecturer in logic and the principles of mathematics at Trinity College for a term of five years. A year later Ludwig Wittgenstein began to attend his lectures. Within a few months he was influencing Russell's philosophical thinking as much as, or more than, Russell was influencing his.
Download or read book Pierre Bayle s Cartesian Metaphysics written by Todd Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his magnum opus, the Historical and Critical Dictionary, Pierre Bayle offered a series of brilliant criticisms of the major philosophical and theological systems of the 17th Century. Although officially skeptical concerning the attempt to provide a definitive account of the truths of metaphysics, there is reason to see Bayle as a reluctant skeptic. In particular, Todd Ryan contends that Bayle harbored deep sympathy for the attempt by Descartes and his most innovative successor, Nicolas Malebranche, to establish a metaphysical system that would provide a foundation for the new mechanistic natural philosophy while helping to secure the fundamental tenets of rational theology. Through a careful analysis of Bayle’s critical engagement with such philosophers as Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke and Newton, it is argued that, despite his reputation as a skeptic, Bayle was not without philosophical commitments of his own. Drawing on the full range of Bayle’s writings, from his early philosophical lectures to his final controversial writings, Ryan offers detailed studies of Bayle’s treatment of such pivotal issues as mind-body dualism, causation and God’s relation to the world.
Download or read book The Newton Wars the Beginning of the French Enlightenment written by J.B. Shank and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton’s science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Terms like “Newtonianism” are routinely taken as synonyms for “Enlightenment” and “modern” thought, yet the particular conjunction of these terms has a history full of accidents and contingencies. Modern physics, for example, was not the determined result of the rational unfolding of Newton’s scientific work in the eighteenth century, nor was the Enlightenment the natural and inevitable consequence of Newton’s eighteenth-century reception. Each of these outcomes, in fact, was a contingent event produced by the particular historical developments of the early eighteenth century. A comprehensive study of public culture, The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenment digsbelow the surface of the commonplace narratives that link Newton with Enlightenment thought to examine the actual historical changes that brought them together in eighteenth-century time and space. Drawing on the full range of early modern scientific sources, from studied scientific treatises and academic papers to book reviews, commentaries, and private correspondence, J. B. Shank challenges the widely accepted claim that Isaac Newton’s solitary genius is the reason for his iconic status as the father of modern physics and the philosophemovement.

Book excerpt: LE SUJET D'ETUDE SE LIMITE A LA RAISON PURE ET A SON INTERACTION AVEC LA QUESTION DE L'INFINI MATHEMATIQUE, PHILOSOPHIQUE ET RELIGIEUX. LA THESE VISE A MONTRER QUE LES DIFFERENTS PRINCIPES RATIONNELS (IDENTITE, NON-CONTRADICTION...) SE RAMENENT AU PRINCIPE DE SYMETRIE, QUI EST LA VERSION OPERATOIRE DU PRINCIPE D'IDENTITE. ELLE MONTRE QUE LES RATIONNALITES DIFFERENTES, QUI SE REFERENT A DIFFERENTS TYPES D'EXISTENCE (EFFECTIVE, CONSTRUCTIVE, LOGIQUE...), PEUVENT SE RAMENER A UNE SEULE : LA PLUS GENERALE, PUISQUE CES EXISTENCES SONT EMBOITEES. UNE LOGIQUE PLUS FAIBLE QUE LA LOGIQUE CLASSIQUE EST AINSI PROPOSEE, APTE A TRAITER L'INFINI ET LES DEFINITIONS IMPREDICATIVES AVEC LEURS PARADOXES. LE THEOREME DE CANTOR ET L'ECHELLE DES NOMBRES TRANSFINIS SONT CONTESTES. L'INFINI, PAR L'ABSENCE DE LIMITE, EST UNE NOTION PLUS FAIBLE QUE LE FINI. DONC L'INFINI METAPHYSIQUE, COMME L'INFINI MATHEMATIQUE DOIT ETRE ABORDE AVEC CETTE MEME LOGIQUE. AINSI LA RAISON DISPOSE D'UN FORMALISME OUVERT, ASSURANT UNE CONSISTANCE PLUS LARGE AUX MATHEMATIQUES, ET QUI INCLUT, EN CAS PARTICULIER, LES AUTRES THEORIES RATIONNELLES. ELLE INCLUT EGALEMENT L'INFINI QUI SE REVELE ALORS COMME UN POLE UNITAIRE STRUCTURANT LA PENSEE.
