To be sure, our store of accurate facts is more plentiful now than it has ever been, and the minutest details of history are being thoroughly recorded. Scientists, - men and scholars vie with each other in publishing excruciatingly definitive accounts of all that happens on the natural, political and historical scenes. Unfortunately, telling the truth is not quite the same thing as reciting a rosary of facts. Jos6 Ortega y Gasset, in an adm- able lesson summarized by Antonio Machado‘s three-line poem, prophetically warned us that the reason people so often lie is that they lack imagination: they don‘t realize that the truth, too, is a matter of invention. Sometime, in a future that is knocking at our door, we shall have to retrain ourselves or our children to properly tell the truth. The exercise will be particularly painful in mathematics. The enrapturing discoveries of our field systematically conceal, like footprints erased in the sand, the analogical train of thought that is the authentic life of mathematics. Shocking as it may be to a conservative logician, the day will come when currently MATHEMATICS, IN vagu | | 出版日期 | Book 1992Latest edition | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | History of Mathematics; Philosophy; Physics; Science; mathematics | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-8176-4775-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-8176-3636-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-8176-4775-9 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1992 |
