Abstract

The chief burden of this medieval treatise was to definitively refute all contentions supporting the composition of the continuum out of indivisibles. In the attempt to achieve this refutation Bradwardine relied almost wholly upon a geometrical method, that is , he tried , by employing the principles and precepts of fourteenth century , Euclidean geometry , to systematically deduce the contradictions inherent between that science and hypothesis of indivisibilism.
