A Grammar of Infinite Forms, or the Mathematical Elements of Ancient Philosophy and Mythology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of Infinite Forms, or the Mathematical Elements of Ancient Philosophy and Mythology
The author of the following pages, in pursuing these abstractions, may seem to be exerting an useless ingenuity, and spending labour in vain, for the purpose of resuscitating antiquated and scarce ly amusmg fables. He is of opinion, however, that none of these were originally contrived at random, or for commemorating particular events, but were originally intended for a totally different purpose, and are valuable memorials of the study of abstract truths, which cannot even now be ex pressed by a more convenient set' of symbols.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an innovative framework to understand certain fundamental powers of mathematical form and their connection to the ancient system of philosophy and mythology. The author traces twelve successive steps in one continuous deduction, taking in all the simple or uncompounded powers of mathematical form. These mathematical elements become a basis for understanding the fables belonging to ancient philosophy and poetry, revealing the true purpose of these stories. The author argues that these were not created at random, but intended to express abstract truths, now known in the present day through a more convenient set of symbols. The book's insights demonstrate the severe forms of abstract truth can exist without any accommodation to the feelings of mankind and provides a new perspective on the study of abstract truths, which cannot even now be expressed by a more convenient set of symbols. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282546366_0
