Abstract
This paper reviews contemporary interpretations of classical Greek geometry, and offers a Deleuzian, post structural alternative. We emphasize the embodied aspect of Greek mathematical practice, and indicate how it conflicts with ideal linear-modular accounts. Our main theoretic tools are the notions of 'catastrophe' and 'haptic eye' as reconstructed by Deleuze in his analysis of the artistic practices of painter Francis Bacon. Show more
