Strange beautiful grass of green: LMU Winter 2015--2016 “The Philosophy of Space, Time and Spacetime”

answer to the question: Why Does Knowing Ratios of Spatial Lengths Not Fix the Absolute Spatial Lengths Themselves?
beamer slides on non-Euclidean geometry and curvature (background to Riemann and Helmholtz readings and lecture)
handwritten outline of lectures comparing views of Riemann, Helmoholtz and Poincaré on geometry, space, motion and methodology
see some of the lecture notes for the course “Kant and the Philosophy of Science” for more material I covered on Riemann, Helmholtz, Poincaré and Hertz
