Squaring the circle: Hobbes on philosophy and geometry
Journal of the History of Ideas 57 (2):217–31 (1996)
| Abstract | Hobbes' geometrical disputes are significant since they highlight several important strands in his thought - issues concerning the right to make definitions, his anti-clericalism, the maker's knowledge argument and his objections to algebra. These are examined, and the foundational position, according to Hobbes, of geomentry in relation to philosophy, science and technology, explained and discussed. | |||||||||
