Mannucci | according to Alain Connes (interview with Jean Pierre Serre, in french, available on Youtube, it looks like Recoltes will be finally published (hopefully in both french and english). Recoltes is an incredible piece of work, not always pleasant to read. A lot is (in my modest opinion) not "nice", but it contains pearls beyond belief. If you spend any time reading it here and there, you will nourish your soul, as a mathematician and (most important) as a human being. Best wishes! | |

What little I have read thus far, has been wonderfully inspirational! | |

| Nov 2, 2020 at 21:17 | comment | added | James Fife | Thanks Mirco, "Meno" is one of my preferred Platonic dialogues as it is most pertinent to the method of Elenchus and mathematical discovery. "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. In South Africa where I live, endemic racism and segregation, similar to that of Moore's has been and still is responsible for massive injustice and unnecessary suffering. Socratic questioning seems at it's most powerful when rooting out cognitive biases in our own thinking. | |
