Isis: International Review Devoted to the History of Science and Its Cultural Influences
Volume: 84
Pages: 310-338
Description “By demonstrating how the reaction to an overstated historical explanation generated its own extremity, I should like to claim that the argument for the independent codiscovery of the calculus by Newton and Leibniz does not hinge on the corollary dismissal of Barrow as either an original mathematician or a consequential figure in the life and work of Newton. Indeed, it is my hope that this commentary on the manner in which scholars have sought to dismiss Barrow from serious historical consideration will contribute to a process of reevaluation of Barrow and other figures like him, who suffer from the predilection of historians to concentrate exclusively on (and aggrandize) the work and significance of the truly great.”
