Part of the Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
- Information
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.
