High, I just found this list searching Jacob Klein on the internet. I am intersted in doing graduate studies on dialogue, synthetic and analytic inquiry, and...
Hi Brandon: This group has been dormant for some time. It's not that we're not interested in Klein or Greek mathematics in general; we've just gone off to...
Mainly, Klein does the kind of writing I have the most respect for, interpretive reading but respectful of the text and what it offers, as opposed to what...
New member, my dover paperback copy of klein's book just arrived. Reading the backcover notes i was struck by the words, "...klein investigates the revival and...
Newbie here, just finished a first reading of klein's introduction to his book. By 'weight', my first impression is, klein's work takes thought down to thee...
Welcome This list has been somewhat empty = ok no messages for quite a while. Is there any life in the old girl? Your first impression does not connect with my...
Hi Bill Klein's introduction seems to say that ancient greek mathematics fore-shadowed the birth of modern mathematics. Sixteenth century input shifted the...
Len Well there are similarities and differences beteen ancient and modern mathematics. Klein seems to place the shift in the sixteenth century. But what is...
... -To the scientific. ... -Fundamentally there is no difference, the exception being in those minds which tend now toward thinking of determination as cause....
Len Sorry but I am not following you. Perhaps you could expand on some this or perhaps I am just obtuse. ... Sorry still not understanding - in fact this only...
Bill My apologies, my thoughts, my obtuse language. Scientific, as a word and wrt social perspective, was meant to indicate that all of us have (in some way)...
To say the mind is a universal is misleading because a universal does not exist irrespective of it. If a mind deems there to be objects then they exist....
Len Perhaps we have more of a communication. That we have all been made physicists is something that seems to accord with Klein's comment that mathematical...
Mr. Picard, I will tell you some points that Mr. Klein made in various places. When reading the words of any thinker ( and there are not so many thinkers as we...
Worreller Yes agreed; to 'have read' one must think the author's thoughts. Klein, in the introduction i think, wants us to appreciate that wrt our world and...
Worreller Perhaps you could answer a question for me wrt something klein says near the end of his introduction, a look ahead so to speak. Klein says, "...we...
Does discussion of jacob klein's work assume that the fundamentals of modern algebra, such as spencer-browns's laws of form, have masked the greek meaning of...
I am trying to find the following article from the Journal of the History of Ideas which, based on an abstract, seems to discuss Klein's ideas about...
Dear Burt, Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I have the klein list configured to remove email attachments -- to protect subscribers...

I notice several new members but no postings. Why did you join? B...
I was hoping the group would consider the later parts of his book, but the discussion seemed to get bogged down on Plato. I wrote a book on the foundations of...
... I presume you refer to "The foundations of mathematics in the theory of sets", Cambridge, 2000 (it's ok to plug your book here). If your book was inspired...
