John L. Bell's I The Continuous, the Discrete and the Infinitesimal in Philosophy and Mathematics i is a revised version of his 2005 I The Continuous and Infinitesimal in Mathematics and Philosophy i . Bell shows us how philosophers, sometimes in parallel with mathematicians, did the same for the related concepts of the continuum, discrete, and infinitesimal. Philosophers gave birth to the ideas of the discrete, continuous, and infinitesimal independent of any use mathematics had for them. [Extracted from the article]
