Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

Miracles Mystics Mathematicians: Searching for Deep Reality focuses on the lives and writings of some of history’s most influential mathematicians and the impact that their mystical beliefs had on their lives and on their mathematical work. Modern biographers often cleanse the lives of renowned scientists of any hint of mysticism or occultism. Such threads are sometimes regarded as relics of the superstitious past; flaws that need to be hushed up marginalized or reinterpreted. This book represents a minor attempt to push back against this tendency and to examine these aspects of the history of mathematics with seriousness and intellectual curiosity. Features A breadth of scope covering many centuries Suitable for anyone interested in mathematics history philosophy paranormal phenomena psi-research mysticism or in any combination of the above An almost unique account of known histories examined from a new vantage point Sasho Kalajdzievski is a Senior Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba. | Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality
