The History of Mathematical Proof in Ancient Traditions
This radical volume explores the purposes and nature of proof in a range of historical settings, overturning the view that the first mathematical proofs were in Greek geometry and rested on the logical insights of Aristotle. It opens the way to providing the first comprehensive, textually based history of proof.
