Berkeley and his contemporaries
the question of mathematical formalism
pp. 43-56
Abstract
Berkeley's critique of the calculus is a well-known topic, as are his attempts to build a brand-new geometry based on sensible minima, but the notion of a Berkeleian mathematical philosophy has hardly been examined. Some recent works have nevertheless tried to analyze what this philosophy could be.
