Imaginaries in Geometry, Paperback / softback Book

Imaginaries in Geometry Paperback / softback

Part of the Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

This is the first complete English translation of Pavel Florensky’s original and ambitious attempt to arrive at a geometric representation of imaginary numbers, in a context that had already captured the attention of other mathematicians, including Gauss, Argan, Cauchy and Bellavitis.

Florensky did not limit his attempt solely to complex projective geometry, but extended it to encompass Ptolemaic-Dantean cosmology and Einstein’s Principle of Relativity, as well as a new epistemological theory.

The resulting treatise combines various disciplines and explores the relationship between an immanent realm of knowledge and a transcendent one.
