商品描述
This book explores a cluster of philosophical, historical, and logical problems concerning the foundations of the theory of plane area in elementary geometry. The motivation of this study is a notable geometrical proposition known as De Zolt's postulate, which asserts that a polygon cannot be equal in area to a proper polygonal part. The book is the first systematic investigation of the philosophical and foundational significance of this proposition, which can also be described as the "fundamental theorem" of the theory of plane area.
This volume provides a comparative study of Euclid's development of the theory of area in the Elements and its modern reinterpretation in Hilbert's classical monograph Foundations of Geometry. It connects the historical reflections on De Zolt's postulate with the nineteenth-century program of providing a purely geometrical foundation for Euclidean geometry, uncovering a rich array of intertwined conceptual problems. It also shifts the perspective and provides a logical analysis of this geometrical postulate within an original development of the abstract theory of magnitudes, called compatible magnitudes. Finally, it extends the previous formal treatment of De Zolt's postulate to the case of three-dimensional geometry by producing a type system for polyhedral geometrical mereology. The innovative combination of philosophical, historical, and logical perspectives results in a novel discussion of a fascinating problem at the crossroads of (late) nineteenth-century geometry. This volume will interest readers in the fields of history and philosophy of mathematics, logic, and formal philosophy.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了一系列與平面面積理論基礎相關的哲學、歷史和邏輯問題。本研究的動機源自一個著名的幾何命題，稱為 De Zolt 的公設，該公設主張一個多邊形不能與其適當的多邊形部分在面積上相等。本書是對這一命題的哲學和基礎意義的首次系統性研究，這一命題也可以被描述為平面面積理論的「基本定理」。
本卷提供了對歐幾里得在《幾何原本》中面積理論發展的比較研究，以及其在希爾伯特的經典專著《幾何的基礎》中現代的重新詮釋。它將對 De Zolt 公設的歷史反思與十九世紀提供歐幾里得幾何純粹幾何基礎的計畫相連結，揭示出一系列錯綜複雜的概念問題。它還轉變了視角，並在一個名為相容量的抽象量理論的原創發展中，對這一幾何公設進行了邏輯分析。最後，它將對 De Zolt 公設的先前形式處理擴展到三維幾何的情況，通過為多面體幾何的部分論建立一個類型系統。哲學、歷史和邏輯視角的創新結合，導致了對一個迷人問題的新討論，該問題位於十九世紀晚期幾何的交叉點上。本卷將吸引數學史與哲學、邏輯及形式哲學領域的讀者。
