Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae (1655)

John Wallis

Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus mathematicum a Joanne Wallis, Anglico mathematico, anno 1655 editum. In hoc libro, Wallis disputat contra philosophiam geometricam Thomae Hobbes, Anglico philosopho, qui negat geometriae demonstrationem esse certam. Wallis argumenta exponit et probat, quae demonstrant geometriae certitudinem. Liber est compositus in lingua Latina et consistit ex quattuor libris. In primo libro, Wallis agit de principiis geometriae et de axiomatibus, quae sunt necessariae ad demonstrationem. In secundo libro, Wallis tractat de lineis rectis et curvis, et de circulis. In tertio libro, Wallis agit de planis et solidis, et de figuris geometricis. In quarto libro, Wallis disputat contra Hobbes de natura demonstrationis et de certitudine geometriae. Liber est opus magnum et importante in historia mathematicae, quod adhuc est studium dignum.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
