论文摘要
我根据他的数学背景讨论了thom的哲学方法。同时,我将强调他与亚里士多德的联系,他对现代科学视图作为一个预测过程的批评,他对数学教育的观念,他对法国数学学院的地位,在他的时代至关重要,以及他与哲学社区的关系。我还将探讨汤姆的思想与莱布尼兹,里曼,弗洛伊德等人之间的联系。 本文的最后一个版本将作为史普林格的《数学实践历史和哲学》的书手册(Bharath Sriraman编辑)出现。
I discuss Ren{é} Thom's approach to philosophy based on his mathematical background. At the same time, I will highlight his connection with Aristotle, his criticism of the modern view of science as a predictive process, his ideas on mathematical education, his position with respect to the French school of mathematics that was dominent in his time and his relationship with the philosophical community. I will also touch upon the connections between Thom's ideas and those of Leibniz, Riemann, Freud and others. The last version of this paper will appear as a chapter in the book Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (ed. Bharath Sriraman), Springer.
