RE: Re: [HM] Burning Mathematicians
Dear Robert Tragesser,
At the end of my paper "The Centrality of Mathematics in
Western Thought" (Math. Mag. 1988, 220-230) I have a little
section called "Opposition." There are quotations from
Aristotle, Newton, Malthus, Pascal, Cauchy, Weizenbaum,
Wordsworth, Whitman, and Dickens, and references to Goethe and
Evgeny Zamyatin's novel "We."
Some of these may be relevant to your question.
