JAN MAKOVSKÝ
Jan Makovský studied philosophy, French philology and history of science, focusing especially on the 17th-century intellectual milieu of France. His PhD thesis concerned the origin of the calculus in the works of Leibniz, Bernoulli and L'Hospital and the development of its methods as a result of interpenetration between the philosophy of nature and the metaphysics of infinity. His present research is dedicated to the role of Leibniz's "law of continuity" in the 18th century rational mechanics and to the reception of infinitesimal mathematics in Czech 18th century science before Bolzano. He's also interested in the translation of Latin and French works of classical science.
