Formen der Anschauung
Eine Philosophie der Mathematik
[Forms of Intuition: An Essay on the Philosophy of Mathematics]
Aims and Scope
What are pure geometric forms? In what sense are there an infinite number of points on a line? What is the relationship between empirically correct statements about real bodily figures (or movements) and the ideal truths of a pure mathematical geometry (also in space-time)? Starting from Kant and Wittgenstein, the book demonstrates how our dealings with figures and symbols is to be understood beyond the technical mastery of forms of calculation and proof.
