| The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise by Charles Babbage 1837. Published London by John Murray. His remarkable reply to the eight Bridgewater Treatises - specifically that of Whewell. Babbage on this frontis references an inflamatory comment condeming maths by William Whewell which,to Babbage as a mathematician,could not be allowed to pass unchallenged. In twelve chapters Babbage here attempts to demonstrate that mathemetics are God's insadministration of the Universe'. In so doing he presents God as a divine programmer who had set in motion a mighty law-driven sequence of events far more impressive than an ad hoc miracle driven universe. Babbage often draws his arguments and illustrations entirely from his famous calculating-engine,clearly seeing a similarity between its mathematical machinations and that of the Universe | |
