ROMERO CONTRERAS, Arturo. Topology: closeness between Mathematics and Philosophy. Introduction to the interview with Luciano Boi. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.183-212.  Epub Aug 07, 2020. ISSN 2594-0619.

The following text is a critical introduction to an interview with the philosopher and mathematician Luciano Boi. It has two aims: On the first hand, to introduce central concepts of topology referred to in the conversation and, om the second, to offer philosophical interpretation of them.

Although the concept stems from the mathematical domain, the extension given here to it is completely new. The concept of topology referred to by Luciano Boi involves epistemological and even ontological issues.

This introduction intends additionally to present topology as a genuine philosophical issue, which deserves the highest consideration in the light of current theoretical debate.

Keywords : form; homology; connectivity.
