Cusanus… Geometra Ridiculus? The Reception of His Mathematical Texts
摘要
This concluding chapter focuses on the reception of Cusanus’ mathermatical texts since their early circulation, including favorable and not so favorable reactions of several thinkers throughout history. While Regiomontanus expresses a harsh judgement and calls Cusanus a geometra ridiculus, others tend to be more moderate and respectful, including Johannes Kepler, who sees in Cusanus a mihi divinus forerunner.
