Paperback. Etat : Good. In Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, Edwin Abbott Abbott presents a satirical exploration of Victorian society through the lens of a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes. The narrative unfolds in a richly imaginative literary style, intertwining humor and social critique as it challenges the limitations of human perception. Abbott employs a unique narrative technique that layers mathematical concepts with social commentary, reflecting on the rigidity of class distinctions and the struggles against societal norms. The book serves not only as a commentary on the dimensions of identity and hierarchy but also raises profound questions about understanding and the relativity of reality. Edwin Abbott Abbott, an English schoolmaster and theologian, was deeply influenced by the scientific advancements and philosophical debates of his time. His background in education and mathematics is evident in the careful structuring of Flatland, which seeks to encourage readers to expand their understanding beyond the confines of their own experiences. Abbott's reflections on geometry and social hierarchy reveal his commitment to enlightenment ideals, advocating for intellectual freedom and critical thinking. Flatland is a must-read for those interested in the intersections of mathematics, philosophy, and social theory. Abbott's enlightening narrative invites readers to question their own perceptions of reality and the societal constructs that shape them. With its blend of wit and depth, this work remains a timeless piece for both scholars and general readers alike. N° de réf. du vendeur 00110763956
