About The Book
Seeking to capture the problem of intuition of mobility in philosophy, mathematics and physics, this text uses virtuality and intensive quantities (Oresme, Leibniz), wave-particle duality and perspective diagrams, philosophy of nature and Argand’s and Grassman’s geometric discoveries and, finally, Faraday’s, Maxwell’s and Hamilton’s electrophilosophy to do so. This tumultuous relationship between mathematics, physics and philosophy is presented in terms of a comparison between intuitive practices and discursive practices. The following concepts are treated in detail: the concept of virtuality; thought experiments; diagrams; special relativity; German Naturphilosophie and Romantic science.
