MARTI SANCHEZ, Miguel. Aristotle’s philosophy of mathematics. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2017, n.52, pp.43-66. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i52.784.

Aristotle’s Philosophy of Mathematics can be defined as the research about three different issues: (1) what is the epistemological place of mathematics inside the realm of speculative sciences; (2) what is the method of mathematics, mainly that of geometry and arithmetic; and (3) what is the ontological status or kind of existence of mathematical entities. The primary aim of Aristotle is to build a bridge between mathematics, ontology and philosophy of nature, in order to make clear what the object of each one is.

Keywords : mathematics; method; subtraction; ontology; monad; entity.
