| Abstract: | The classical definitions of ratio (otherwise: logos, proportìo, respect, reason) and proportion (otherwise: analoghya, rationes similes, rationes aequales, rationes eaedem, proportionalitas and also proportio, analogy, proportionality), defined respectively by the third and the fifth definitions of the V Book of Euclid's Elements (see I. L. Heiberg, Elementa, vol. II, pp. 2-3), were subjected to a rigorous examination in the Seventeenth century. Among the critics and revisers of those definitions, in this paper we deal with Giovanni Alfonso Borelli and André Tacquet (whose definition of "equal reasons" has inspired generations of mathematicians: see Appendixes). Borelli and Tacquet devised refined procedures to figure out the "equality of reasons" by approximation |
