This paper suggests that layered ontology is important within Kepler’s method, and that it developed at least partially in response to a disciplinary and religious crisis. As such, and despite Platonic allegiances, it places him in a longue durée of geometrical constructivism in seventeenth-century Europe. After introducing the pivotal role of Mysterium cosmographicum (1596) and…

In late 1683, the physician and F.R.S. Martin Lister displayed to the Royal Society a new way of recording barometric observations, which amounted in all but name to the construction of line graphs. The innovation was communicated to the Oxford Philosophical Society, where Robert Plot used the method to display a year’s observations, published in…
Recent Leibniz scholarship has sought to gauge which foundational framework provides the most successful account of the procedures of the Leibnizian calculus (LC). While many scholars (e.g. Ishiguro, Levey) opt for a default Weierstrassian framework, Arthur compares LC to a non-Archimedean framework SIA (Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis) of Lawvere–Kock–Bell. We analyze Arthur's comparison and find it…
The objects shown in the exhibits or stored in the cabinets of museums and mathematics departments—or used in mathematical research and teaching—rarely convey a sense of crisis. However, crises create new roles, mix cultures, bring about new needs, make unexpected use of time (and sometimes free time from usual duties), and generate fear. All of…
The standard historical narrative regarding formalism during the twentieth century indicates the 1920s as a highpoint in the mathematical formalization project. This was marked by Hilbert’s statement that the sign stood at the beginning of pure mathematics [‘Neubegründung der Mathematik. Erste Mitteilung’, Abhandlungen aus dem Mathematischen Seminar der Universität Hamburg, 1 (1922), 157–177]. If one…
