Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Its Nature, Validity and Place in Geometrical Systems

Publisher: Open Court Publishing Co.
ISBN/ASIN: 1298881366
Number of pages: 214

Description:
The parallel postulate is the only distinctive characteristic of Euclid. To pronounce upon its validity and general philosophical significance without endeavoring to know what Non-Euclideans have done would be an inexcusable blunder. For this reason I have given in the following pages what might otherwise seem to be an undue prominence to the historical aspect of my general problem.
