NATURE OF MATHEMATICAL BY PLATO

Abstract

The theory of intelligible essences, "order and relations of which are the same as order and re-lations of things" seems so natural to us, as it is still a very useful cognitive instrument in many domains of reality. Dashing growth of scientific knowledge from Co-pernicus and up to Newton was a result of application of mathematical methods to real world, i.e. the art of ascending from random and unsubstantial qualities of things to their hidden mathematical essences. But can any classifying scheme be a cognitive tool? This article attempts at clarifying the matter.
