It was in the autumn of 1997 that the research project leading to this publication began. One of us [GH], while a visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science (University of Pittsburgh), gave a talk entitled, “Proportions and Identity: The Aesthetic Aspect of Symmetry”. The presentation focused on a confusion s- rounding the concept of symmetry: it exhibits unity, yet it is often claimed to reveal a form of beauty, namely, harmony, which requires a variety of elements. In the audience was the co-author of this book [BRG] who responded with enthusiasm, seeking to extend the discussion of this issue to historical sources in earlier periods. A preliminary search of the literature persuaded us that the history of symmetry was rich in possibilities | | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | History of Mathematics; Immanuel Kant; Legendre; Moderne; Perrault; Scientific change; Symmetry; Vitruvius; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-8448-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-7884-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-8448-5Series ISSN 1385-0180 Series E-ISSN 2215-0064 | | issn_series | 1385-0180 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 |
