This ideology was exemplified when he set out on a mission to recover the old wooden operating table used by many of his iconic mentors including Samuel D. Gross, Joseph Pancoast, and William W. Keen. This table was originally used for surgical …

Teaching The Complex Numbers: What History And Philosophy Of Mathematics Suggest, Emily R. Grosholz

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

The narrative about the nineteenth century favored by many philosophers of mathematics strongly influenced by either logic or algebra, is that geometric intuition led real and complex analysis astray until Cauchy and Kronecker in one sense and Dedekind in another guided mathematicians out of the labyrinth through the arithmetization of analysis. Yet the use of geometry in most cases in nineteenth century mathematics was not misleading and was often key to important developments. Thus the geometrization of complex numbers was essential to their acceptance and to the development of complex analysis; geometry provided the canonical examples that led to the …

Nietzsche And Darwin, Babette Babich

Working Papers

Abstract

I argue against the popular view of Nietzsche as Darwinist and I concur with other Nietzsche scholars who have also noted that other authors worked in Nietzsche’s thinking in association with Darwin, not only Spencer and Malthus but also Roux and Haeckel among others which also for Nietzsche included Empedocles and other ancient scientists. Nietzsche offers plain condemnation of Darwin’s views but he is also often associated with Darwin owing to Darwin’s racism and his own vision of rank-order. I conclude with an emphasis on style and Nietzsche’s reading of antiquity to highlight the distinction he sought to make …

Enfermedad Y Sátira Contra Los Médicos En Las Poesías Varias De José Navarro (1654), Almudena Vidorreta

Graduate Student Publications and Research

La originalidad de algunos poetas satíricos del Siglo de Oro ha querido ser justificada por la crítica únicamente en la reformulación de un tema tan antiguo como el de la sátira, de la medicina en este caso. Sin embargo, la imitatio de los clásicos no implica la falta de contacto con la experiencia cotidiana, cuyo análisis ha de ser considerado un aspecto ineludible a la hora de apreciar la vituperación de personajes y acontecimientos ligados al autor. A pesar de que la crítica ha querido dar primacía a las fuentes literarias, a los modelos de Luciano y el erasmismo, y …
