My university ("maudit soit son nom!") gives me access to the Math Intel. Archive after 1993 only. If you know an open source access, I would be vert thankful. | |

| Mar 16, 2017 at 19:31 | comment | added | Joël | Interesting, I'll read it. | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 16:23 | comment | added | Mikhail Katz | Oh, I thought you were referring to his essay that was published posthumously in the mathematical intelligencer in 1978 (the first volume of the journal I believe). That's an interesting text and I think quite different from what he wrote in proofs and refutations. | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 16:08 | comment | added | Joël | I am not saying that Lakatos' vision of the issue is compatible with the others expressed here. I remember that Lakatos is quite dismissive against the history pages in Bourbaki's element devoted to the question, but in my memory (which is faint) he doesn't mention infinitesimals. But anyway, if only for the style, it is a good read. | |
