The King of Infinite Space: Euclid and His Elements de David Berlinski
All about a way of explaining, a way of building a system, a way that has been useful for many to follow. Top-down, complete by itself, explaining a system that may or may not exist except as a concept, and that needs no knowledge of the real world in order to do its job.
Every student of the sciences, arts and philosophy should appreciate and benefit from Berlinsky's work - not just for its conclusions, but also for its unanswered questions. Humans tend to strive for knowledge or enlightenment up to a point, then set aside their thirst in favour of more secure checkpoints. Berlinsky storms ahead, producing insights and revelations that not only entertain, but should inspire us to awaken from our intellectual slumber and give us the courage to sally forth once more and conquer the intertwining failings of ignorance and disinformation.… (més)
David Berlinski, a renowned mathematician and philosopher, takes us on a fun but informative tour of Euclid's Elements. It's a joy to read as he explains the logistical building of Euclid's mathematics and makes observations on its current position. It was a deep inquiry that synthesized and refined Euclid, in my opinion. It goes beyond storytelling to demonstrate a way of living and, in a sense, resurrect Euclid.
