Early holiday haul. Don't know why it's taken me so long to get around to reading by michael moorcock . Finished the first one and hooked already. Going to have to buy the 80s collection next and the books. Any one have a long suggestions for more French graphic novels?

Projective Geometry: Creative Polarities of Space and Time

36/ 歐幾里得的定理,領人之思維入物質王國,教人由自身視點出發看世界。

「歐式」圓[1]——成形於其中心,一個圓規的點——像一幅圖;各人獨自處於自己的中心,餘下世界圍繞他,在外面。

38/ 歐氏幾何只與有限(可度量的)空間中的形狀周旋。

[希臘人]對度量的認知使其定義線爲兩點之間的最短距離,一段有限的長度;面爲線所限制的平面,體爲平面所限制的空間,如一個盒子或房間。其思維引其至「幾何原子」(無維度的點),其所想的線、面、體由大量而有限的、不可分割的「原子」構成。

其想象大地是一塊有限的平面;亞里士多德否認實無限[2]的存在。「Infinitum actu non datur.」

————————————
[1] A Circle is a plane Figure bounded by one Line, and such that all right Lines, drawn from a certain Point within it to the bounding Line, are equal. The bounding Line is called its Circumference, and the Point its Centre. (Elements, Book I)
圜者,一形於平地,居一界之間,自界至中心作直線俱等。外圓線為圜之界內形為圜。(西洋利瑪竇譯)

[2] 亞里士多德在《物理學》和《形而上學》中區分「實無窮(actual infinity)」和「潛無窮(potential infinity)」。實無窮是確定的、已完成的,由無數單元構成。潛無窮永遠不可完成:總能加入更多單元,但並非無數單元。en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_i
