Reception and legacy
pp. 103-121
in: , Leibniz on the parallel postulate and the foundations of geometry, Basel, Birkhäuser, 2016Abstract
Leibniz did not publish anything of his new geometry, the analysis situs, and nothing of his researches on the Parallel Postulate. His influence on the following developments of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry was almost inexistent. Yet, we may find a few episodes in the history of mathematics that show at least an indirect (and perhaps misconceived) reception of Leibniz" endeavors.
