설명

The author focuses on Section IX of Chapter 6 of Tonmas Redi's work to reassess the inquiry. The book prvides provides strong evidence that Reid discovered non-Euclidean geometry 60 years before the mathematicians did. This discussion of the "Common Sense" philosopher considers his epistemological realism (in opposition to the idealism of Berkeley and the skepticism of Hume), paying careful attention to his scientific and mathematical theories. With foreword by Hilary Putnam. 160 pages with index.
