Edward Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946), was an English novelist, in
his lifetime a major and successful writer of genre fiction
including thrillers.
This book offers an entirely new perspective on the alleged
incompatibility between Aristotelian philosophy and the
mathematical methods and principles that form the basis of modern
science. It surveys the tradition of the Oxford Calculators from
its beginnings in the fourteenth century until Leibniz and the
philosophy of the seventeenth century and explores how their
various techniques of quantification expanded the conceptual and
methodological limits of Aristotelianism.
