Series Editor's Preface
We often take for granted the terms, the premises, and the methods that prevail in our time and place. We take for granted, as the starting points for our own thinking, the outcomes of a process of thinking by our predecessors.
What happens is something like this: Questions are asked, and answers are given. These answers in turn provoke new questions, with their own answers. The new questions are built from the answers that were given to the old questions, but the old questions are now no longer asked. Foundations get covered over by what is built upon them.
Progress thus can lead to a kind of forgetfulness, making us less thoughtful in some ways than the people whom we go beyond: hence this series of guidebooks. The purpose of the series is to foster the reading of classic texts in science, including mathematics, so that readers will become more thoughtful by attending to the thinking that is out of sight but still at work in the achievements it has generated.
