Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus Johannis Wallis, mathematici et philosophi Anglici, quod anno 1655 editum est. In hoc libro, Wallis disputat contra doctrinam geometricam Thomae Hobbes, philosophi Angli, qui geometriam non nisi experientia et sensu corporeo explicare volebat. Wallis, contra Hobbes, argumentat geometriam esse scientiam abstractam, quae non dependet a sensu corporis, sed a ratione et intellectu. Libellus constat ex duabus partibus: prima pars continet expositionem doctrinae Hobbesianae et Wallis refutationem eius; secunda pars est tractatus de geometria, in quo Wallis demonstrationes geometricas tradit et exempla geometrica exhibet. Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus importante in historia philosophiae et mathematicae, quod adhuc studiis frequentatur.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
