This book brings together papers of the conference on 'Space, Geometry and the Imagination
from Antiquity to the Modern Age' held in Berlin, Germany, 27-29 August 2012. Focusing
on the interconnections between the history of geometry and the philosophy of space
in the pre-Modern and Early Modern Age, the essays in this volume are particularly
directed toward elucidating the complex epistemological revolution that transformed
the classical geometry of figures into the modern geometry of space. Contributors:
