The Idea of Discontinuity as an Element of a Worldview
Идея прерывности как элемент миросозерцания
His undergraduate thesis in mathematics (1903–1904), written under the influence of Nikolai Bugaev's 'arithmology': discontinuity, present in number theory and function theory, must also be a category of philosophy, against continuist evolutionism. The seed of his later theory of antinomy.
