A Paper on the Foundations of Projective Geometry
Excerpt from A Paper on the Foundations of Projective Geometry: Read Before the Aristotelian Society, Dec, 13, 1897 This paper was nominally "read" at a meeting of the Aristotelian Society on December 13th, 1897. It is the excellent custom of that Society to circulate proofs of papers among the members before the meetings, and I was thus able to make the paper longer and more technical than would otherwise have been possible; but even so the mathematical portion is compressed to the utmost, and a great deal is necessarily left to the good will and intelligence of the reader. Since writing the paper I have read up the modem literature of the subject, and I am confirmed in the impression, which I got from Mr. Russell's book, that the conception of "order" as the basis of so-called "Projective Geometry" is essentially new. The only suggestion of this way of looking at the question which I have found is in Pasch's Vorlesungen uher neuere Geometrie. But though he sees that less than four points have no determinate "order," he never extends the conception of order to continuous quantities, nor does he grasp the connection between it and "anharmonic ratio." It seems, therefore, worth while to bring my views before a wider public, for, interesting as the discussion before the Aristotelian Society was, it was chiefly my epistemological views which came in for criticism; the geometrical points were hardly discussed at all.
