• Jacob Klein on the Dispute Between Plato and Aristotle Regarding Number Romiti, Andrew 2011 New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy , Vol. 11 , S. 249 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 1533-7472 | 2157-0752 Abstract

    By examining Klein’s discussion of the difference between Plato and Aristotle regarding the ontology of number, this article aims to spells out the significanceof that debate both in itself and for the development of the later mathematical sciences. This is accomplished by explicating and expanding Klein’s account of the differences that exist in the understanding of number presented by these two thinkers. It is ultimately argued that Klein’s analysis can be used to show that the transition from the ancient to the modern number concept has some roots in this disagreement between Plato and Aristotle regarding number. This, in turn, sets up that dispute as an essential part of the background to the more general break between ancient and modern conceptuality, the uncovering of whichis Klein’s main concern.
