Stability Proofs and Consistency Proofs: A Loose Analogy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2022
Abstract
A loose analogy relates the work of Laplace and Hilbert. These thinkers had roughly similar objectives. At a time when so much of our analytic effort goes to distinguishing mathematics and logic from physical theory, such an analogy can still be instructive, even though differences will always divide endeavors such as those of Laplace and Hilbert.
