Proquest Open Access Dissertationen

Nachdem ich mich durch über tausend digitale Dissertationen gewühlt habe, die bei UMI / Proquest Open Access gestellt wurden, um die philosophischen rauszufischen, da Proquest kein thematisches Browsing erlaubt -- schreibe ich die hier noch mal auf. Wir haben die nun auch im Katalog nachgewiesen, aber das allein wird nicht zu stark vermehrter Nutzung beitragen.

Theories of continuity and infinitesimals: Four philosophers of the nineteenth century

by Keele, Lisa ,Ph.D., Indiana University, 2008, 349; AAT 3319910
The dissertation focuses on four mathematicians/philosophers from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who were concerned with mathematical continuity. Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor, in the 1870s and 1880s, developed the concept of a 'point-continuum;' i.e. a continuum composed of discrete entities, such as a collection of numbers arranged on a straight line. Paul du Bois-Reymond, in 1882, and Charles S. Peirce, especially in his post-1906 essays, criticized this compositional point-continuum. Du Bois-Reymond believed infinitesimals were necessary for continuity; Peirce believed no compositional continuum could ever satisfy our intuitions. (Aus dem Abstract)
