Mathematics
and Metaphysics in 17-th century Britain (26 Mai, Paris;
23 Juin, Berlin)
Organizers

(Université Paris 1, CNRS), Vincenzo de Risi (Max Planck
Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte)
The general aim of this joint workshop (26th May, Université
Paris 7; 23rd June, Max Planck Institut für
Wissenschafsgeschichte) is to explore 17-th century
mathematics and metaphysics by focussing on the
contributions of two key figures in early modern Britain:
John Wallis (1616-1703) and Isaac Barrow (1630-1677).
The first of the two meetings ("Between tradition and
innovation: mathematics and philosophy of mathematics in
John Wallis" ) will be devoted to the philosophy of
mathematics and mathematical practice in Wallis. The second
meeting ("Geometry and philosophy of space in Isaac Barrow")
will investigate Barrow's philosophy of space.

PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS IN JOHN WALLIS
