Abstract

The studies of Bonaventura Cavalieri's indivisibles by Giusti, Andersen, Mancosu and others provide a comprehensive picture of Cavalieri's mathematics, as well as of the mathematical objections to it as formulated by Paul Guldin and other critics. Issues that have been studied in less detail concern the theological underpinnings of the contemporary debate over indivisibles, its historical roots, the geopolitical situation at the time, and its relation to the ultimate suppression of Cavalieri's religious order. We analyze sources from the seventeenth through twenty-first centuries to investigate this relationship.

帕夏，教皇和不可分割的人。

Giusti, Andersen， Mancosu等人对Bonaventura Cavalieri的不可分割性的研究提供了Cavalieri数学的全面图景，以及Paul Guldin和其他批评者对其提出的数学异议。不太详细研究的问题涉及当代关于不可分割性的辩论的神学基础，其历史根源，当时的地缘政治局势，以及它与卡瓦列里宗教秩序的最终镇压的关系。我们分析了从17世纪到21世纪的资料来研究这种关系。

期刊介绍： Science in Context is an international journal edited at The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, with the support of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. It is devoted to the study of the sciences from the points of view of comparative epistemology and historical sociology of scientific knowledge. The journal is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of science and its cultural development - it does not segregate considerations drawn from history, philosophy and sociology. Controversies within scientific knowledge and debates about methodology are presented in their contexts.
