This essay deals with Imre Toth’s research on the history of non-Euclidean geometry. Before Einstein’s formulation of the General Theory of Relativity, the famous logician Glottob Frege rejected modern non-Euclidean geometries as frivolous theories. Toth’s works has retraced their ancient origins, and shown that mathematical discussion of foundations in Plato’s Academy and in Aristotle was combined with an investigation into ethics and freedom.
