Diagramas euclidianos y justificación matemática

  • Tamires Dal Magro Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brasil
Palabras clave: Filosofía de las prácticas matemáticas, Prueba, Euclides, Razonamiento diagramático

Resumen

Este trabajo presenta un panorama histórico de los problemas investigados en tres vertientes de la filosofía de las matemáticas: tradicional, maverick y conciliatoria. En la segunda y tercera secciones, el enfoque está en enseñar (1) como el uso de los diagramas en matemáticas, y más específicamente en la geometría euclidiana, fue fuertemente criticado por autores alineados con la primera escuela y (2) el impacto de tales críticas en las re-evaluaciones y reivindicación de la legitimidad del uso de los diagramas en Euclides por autores alineados con las últimas dos escuelas.     

PALABRAS CLAVE: Filosofía de las prácticas matemáticas; prueba; Euclides; razonamiento diagramático.

Biografía del autor/a

Tamires Dal Magro, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brasil

Tamires Dal Magro es investigadora postdoctoral (PNPD / CAPES) en el área de Epistemología y Lógica de la Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brasil. Doctora en Filosofía [≈ PhD] por la Universidad Estatal de Campinas (UNICAMP, Brasil). Su investigación actual se centra especialmente en problemas relacionados con la práctica matemática, el conocimiento simbólico, la geometría euclidiana, los fundamentos cognitivos de las matemáticas, las pruebas por reductio ad absurdum, las pruebas heterogéneas, las teorías de la representación y el razonamiento diagramático. Ha publicado su trabajo en Synthese, Theoria y Crítica.
