  • 摘要:

    Sir Isaac Newton’s (1642-1727) quantitative contributions to optics,
    calculus and physics are well-documented compared to his philosophy of
    mathematics. The intuitionists, logicists and formalists have argued that
    the essence of Newton’s mathematics corresponds to their well-known
    philosophical positions which are non-theological. In this paper, it is
    argued that Newton’s position is much deeper than that suggested by
    contemporary philosophies of mathematics and Newton’s theological
    view deserves more sympathy in any attempt to analyse his overall
    philosophical view of mathematics.
