Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Conception of the Infinite, and the Solution of the Mathematical Antinomies: A Study in Psychological Analysis
The question treated in this little volume is one of no small interest from several quite different points of view. To one interested in lucid and systematic thinking, the tangle of thought which has always obtained in this corner of the philosophic field cannot but be repulsive and irritating. To be told that of two impossible things one must be true; that of the same two lines one may be looked upon as, at pleasure, equal to, less than, or greater than the other, both remaining unchanged; that Achilles, running rapidly, can never over take the tortoise, moving slowly; to be told all this seriously, by men Whose calling it is to think and to teach others to think, is well calculated to bring not merely suspicion but contempt upon speculative thought, and de.

The Conception of the Infinite, and the Solution of the Mathematical Antinomies
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the psychology of the human concept of infinity from a historical vantage point. The author begins by demonstrating how classical philosophical texts have commonly described infinity as something elusive, unknowable, and inconceivable as the human mind cannot process an unending quantity. The author then delves into the works of prominent philosophers who posited that infinity must be perceived as qualitatively rather than quantitatively, thus making it comprehensible to the mind. This book reveals that while we may not fully grasp the full extent of the infinite, we can nevertheless conceive of its existence. This book invites readers to revisit a classic philosophical topic with fresh eyes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331055068_0
