Synopsis
This book, first published in 1734, is a wide-ranging inquiry into the nature of mathematics, structured as a dialogue between the author and a mathematician. The author challenges the mathematician's unwavering faith in the mathematical method of fluxions and other contemporary analytical methods, and argues that these methods are often unclear, leading to invalid conclusions. The author contends that mathematics should be pursued logically and without reliance on unproven suppositions. The book's insights on the logical foundations of mathematics remain relevant hundreds of years after its initial publication.
