Geometrical knowledge has often played the role of a laboratory for  the philosopher's conceptual experiments dedicated to the ideation of  powerful theories of knowledge. Lorenzo Magnani's new book  \u003cem\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand Geometry\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates the rich intrigue of  this fascinating story of human knowledge, providing a new analysis of  the ideas of many scholars (including Plato, Proclus, Kant, and  Poincaré), and discussing conventionalist and neopositivist  perspectives and the problem of the origins of geometry. The book also  ties together the concerns of philosophers of science and cognitive  scientists, showing, for example, the connections between geometrical  reasoning and cognition as well as the results of recent logical and  computational models of geometrical reasoning. All the topics are  dealt with using a novel combination of both historical and  contemporary perspectives. \u003cem\u003ePhilosophy and Geometry\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable  contribution to the renaissance of research in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001-11-30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781402002410\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343428087948,"sku":"9781402002410","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402002410.jpg?v=1768932969","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402002410","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
