Synopsis:
""The Analyst: A Discourse Addressed To An Infidel Mathematician"" is a philosophical and mathematical treatise written by the Irish philosopher and bishop George Berkeley. Originally published in 1734, the book is a response to the mathematical skepticism of the English mathematician and philosopher, Isaac Newton. In the book, Berkeley argues against the idea of infinitesimal calculus and the use of infinite series in mathematics. He suggests that the use of these concepts is not only unnecessary but also leads to logical inconsistencies and contradictions. The book is written as a dialogue between a philosopher and an infidel mathematician, with the philosopher challenging the mathematician's assumptions and beliefs. Through this dialogue, Berkeley presents his own views on mathematics, philosophy, and religion. The book is considered a landmark in the history of mathematics and philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.It hath been an old remark, that Geometry is an excellent Logic. And it must be owned that when the definitions are clear; when the postulata cannot be refused, nor the axioms denied; when from the distinct contemplation and comparison of figures, their properties are derived, by a perpetual well-connected chain of consequences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
About the Author: George Berkeley (1685-1753) was one of the three great British empiricist philosophers; his best known works include An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision and A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the foundations of geometry, as well as the nature of infinity and the concept of limits in mathematics. The author presents an extensive criticism of the use of infinitesimals and fluxions in mathematics, arguing that they lead to logical contradictions and absurdities. He also challenges the prevailing view of infinity as an actual quantity, and argues that it is instead a purely conceptual tool. The book is a valuable contribution to the history and philosophy of mathematics, and it offers a fresh perspective on the foundations of the subject.
