We show, moreover, that Leibniz's system forĭifferential calculus was free of logical fallacies. WeĪrgue that Leibniz's defense of infinitesimals is more firmly grounded thanīerkeley's criticism thereof. Imaginaries, which are not eliminable by some syncategorematic paraphrase. Logical fictions, as Ishiguro proposed, but rather pure fictions, like Leibniz's infinitesimals are fictions, not We argue that Robinson, among others, overestimates the force ofīerkeley's criticisms, by underestimating the mathematical and philosophical Robinson regards Berkeley's criticisms of the infinitesimal calculus as aptlyĭemonstrating the inconsistency of reasoning with historical infinitesimal Tradition inspired Lakatos, Laugwitz, and others to consider the history of the A notableĮxception is Robinson himself, whose identification with the Leibnizian Theory of infinitesimals, require the resources of modern logic thus manyĬommentators are comfortable denying a historical continuity.
