  1. La época del punto: el legado matemático de Newton en el siglo XVIII.Niccolò Guicciardini - 2007 - Estudios de Filosofía (Universidad de Antioquia) 35:67-110.
    Según la concepción heredada, los matemáticos británicos del siglo XVIII fueron responsables de una decadencia de las matemáticas en el país de Newton; una decadencia atribuida al chovinismo y a una preferencia por el pensamiento geométrico. Este artículo debate este punto de vista describiendo, primero, la complejidad de la herencia matemática de Newton y su recepción durante las primeras décadas del siglo XVIII. Una sección dedicada al monumental Treatise of Fluxions (1742) de Maclaurin describe el intento de lograr una síntesis (...)

  • Grasping the spirit in nature: Anschauung in Ørsted’s epistemology of science and beauty.Kristine Hays Lynning & Anja Skaar Jacobsen - 2011 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 42 (1):45-57.
    The intersection between art, poetry, philosophy and science was the leitmotif which guided the lives and careers of romantic natural philosophers including that of the Danish natural philosopher, H. C. Ørsted. A simple model of Ørsted’s career would be one in which it was framed by two periods of philosophical speculation: the youth’s curious and idealistic interest in new attractive thoughts and the experienced man’s mature reflections at the end of his life. We suggest that a closer look at the (...)

  • Further adventures of the Rome 1594 Arabic redaction of Euclid’s Elements.Gregg De Young - 2012 - Archive for History of Exact Sciences 66 (3):265-294.
    This article takes up the adventure of the Arabic version of the Elements published in Rome at the Typographia Medicea in 1594 at the point where the first installment (Cassinet, Revue française d’histoire du livre 78–79:5–51, 1993) ended. In this new installment of the adventure, we situate the Rome edition within a stemma of connected Arabic copies spanning some four centuries. We show that the text of the Rome edition was typeset from Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Or. 20 and that Or. (...)
