520 The essays offer a unified and comprehensive view of 17th
century mathematical and metaphysical disputes over status
of infinitesimals, particularly the question whether they
were real or mere fictions. Leibniz's development of the
calculus and his understanding of its metaphysical
foundation are taken as both a point of departure and a
frame of reference for the 17th century discussions of
infinitesimals, that involved Hobbes, Wallis, Newton,
Bernoulli, Hermann, and Nieuwentijt. Although the calculus
was undoubtedly successful in mathematical practice, it
remained controversial because its pr.
