They constitute that with which exploration into problems or questions is carried out. But they also constitute that which is exchanged between scholars or, in other terms, that which is shaped by one (or by some) for use by others. In these various dimensions, texts obviously depend on the means and technologies available for producing, reproducing, using and organizing writings. In this regard, the contribution of a history of text is essential in helping us approach the various historical contexts from which our sources originate. However, there is more to it....

Cultures without Culturalism: The Making of Scientific Knowledge
ISBN: 9780822363569 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cultural accounts of scientific ideas and practices have increasingly come to be welcomed as a corrective to previous--and still widely held--theories of scientific knowledge and practices as universal. The editors caution, however, against the temptation to overgeneralize the work of culture, and to lapse into a kind of essentialism that flattens the range and variety of scientific work. The book refers to this tendency as culturalism. The contributors to the volume model a new path where historicized and cultural accounts of scientific practice retain their specificity and complexity...

The History of Mathematical Proof in Ancient Traditions
ISBN: 9781107012219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 614 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This radical, profoundly scholarly book explores the purposes and nature of proof in a range of historical settings. It overturns the view that the first mathematical proofs were in Greek geometry and rested on the logical insights of Aristotle by showing how much of that view is an artefact of nineteenth-century historical scholarship. It documents the existence of proofs in ancient mathematical writings about numbers and shows that practitioners of mathematics in Mesopotamian, Chinese and Indian cultures knew how to prove the correctness of algorithms, which are much more prominent outside...

Texts, Textual Acts and the History of Science
ISBN: 9783319164434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The book presents the outcomes of an innovative research programme in the history of science and implements a Text Act Theory which extends Speech Act Theory, in order to illustrate a new approach to texts and textual communicative acts. It examines assertives (absolute or conditional statements, forecasts, insurance, etc.), directives, declarations and enumerations, as well as different types of textual units allowing authors to perform these acts: algorithms, recipes, prescriptions, lexical templates for terminological studies and enumerative structures. The book relies on the study of a...

The Oxford Handbook of Generality in Mathematics and the Sciences
ISBN: 9780198777267 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Generality is a key value in scientific discourses and practices. Throughout history, it has received a variety of meanings and of uses. This collection of original essays aims to inquire into this diversity. Through case studies taken from the history of mathematics, physics and the life sciences, the book provides evidence of different ways of understanding the general in various contexts. It aims at showing how collectives have valued generality and how they have worked with specific types of "general" entities, procedures, and arguments. The books connects history and philosophy of...

Mathematical Commentaries in the Ancient World: A Global Perspective
ISBN: 9781108839570 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first book-length analysis of the techniques and procedures of ancient mathematical commentaries. It focuses on examples in Chinese, Sanskrit, Akkadian and Sumerian, and Ancient Greek, presenting the general issues by constant detailed reference to these commentaries, of which substantial extracts are included in the original languages and in translation, sometimes for the first time. This makes the issues accessible to readers without specialized training in mathematics or in the languages involved. The result is a much richer understanding than was hitherto possible of the...
