    Författare :Jim Skog Pirinen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :philosophy of mathematics; Heidegger; Wittgenstein; surveyability; unconcealment;

    Sammanfattning : Ever since the advent of computerized methods for solving mathematical problems, the concept of surveyability has played a central role in the debate surrounding what constitutes a mathematical proof. Ordinarily, it is by surveying the argument presented that the mathematician ascertains the truth of the conclusion, but with the advent of computer assisted technologies, there are mathematical conclusions known to be true without anyone ever having been able to survey the argument in its entirety.

  7. 5. Re-Construction for the New : Gilles Deleuze’s Text-Critical Method in Différence et répétition

    Magister-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Filosofi

    Sammanfattning : This thesis argues, contrary to Gilles Deleuze’s critique of method and disavowal of textuality, that there is a re-constructive textual method at work in Deleuze’s 1968 treatise Différence et répétition. It is a method not for interpretation, representation, or deconstruction but for prolonging and reactivating historical and contemporary texts into the present and for the future. LÄS MER
