This chapter explores Cusanus’ theory of geometric point. Throughout his De docta ignorantia and his mathematical texts, Cusanus’ claims concerning the—quantitative or not-quantitative—nature of the point are rather ambiguous. This comes as no surprise if seen against the background of the thorny issue concerning the divisibility of magnitudes and the interpretative difficulties Cusanus faces on this matter in his day and age.

摘要

This chapter explores Cusanus’ theory of geometric point. Throughout his De docta ignorantia and his mathematical texts, Cusanus’ claims concerning the—quantitative or not-quantitative—nature of the point are rather ambiguous. This comes as no surprise if seen against the background of the thorny issue concerning the divisibility of magnitudes and the interpretative difficulties Cusanus faces on this matter in his day and age.
