The History of Continua: Philosophical and Mathematical Perspectives
The History of Continua: Philosophical and Mathematical Perspectives
Mathematical and philosophical thought about continuity has changed considerably over the ages, from Aristotle's insistence that a continuum is a unified whole, to the dominant account today, that a continuum is composed of infinitely many points. This book explores the key ideas and debates concerning continuity over more than 2500 years.
