摘要

摘要在这篇回应中,我认为内兹的文章采用了19世纪关于数学史的论文,其中一个用途是强调欧洲与“其他国家”之间的所谓差异。致力于数字和计算的数学工作的某些方面的贬低在使这些论点永久化方面发挥了关键作用。这种贬值尤其适用于小数位数值计算系统,Reviel认为这并不代表“对数学科学的重大贡献”。我通过展示这种类型的计算系统所产生的持续理论影响来反驳这种观点。我还讨论了我在Reviel的论点中确定的两种史学操作,它们的使用需要修改:选择和净化。我的结论强调了在第二次世界大战后时期,卢西恩·费夫尔等历史学家是如何邀请他们的同事来关注文物的混合特征的。

Forward … to the nineteenth century: Historiographic concerns about Reviel Netz’s ‘The Place of Archimedes in World History’
ABSTRACT In this response I argue that Netz' essay adopts nineteenth-century theses on the history of mathematics, one of the uses of which was to highlight an alleged difference between Europe and “the others”. The debasement of certain facets of mathematical work devoted to numbers and computation has played a key role in perpetuating these theses. Such a devaluation applies notably to decimal place-value numeration systems, which Reviel perceives as representing no “significant contribution to mathematical science.” I counter this view by showing the continued theoretical impact that numeration systems of this type have had. I also discuss two historiographic operations that I identify in Reviel's argument and whose use requires revision: selecting and purifying. My conclusion emphasizes how in the post World War II period historians such as Lucien Febvre invited their colleagues to focus, in contrast, on the hybrid character of cultural artefacts.
