Sir Thomas Heath, who published his History of Greek Mathematics nine years ago, is now publishing with the Oxford University Press A Manual of Greek Mathematics. His idea in this book has been to give the general reader who has not lost interest in the studies of his youth and who would wish to know how it came about that a Greek by the name of Euclid wrote a textbook which, in an almost literal translation, was used in schools and in the universities in this country as the recognized basis of instruction in elementary geometry. He tells of Euclid's forerunners and of their respective contributions; and of Euclid's successor, Archimedes, who anticipated the integral calculus and who by arithmetic combined with geometry measured the circle and who laid the mathematical foundations of statics and created the whole science of hydrostatics.

AbstractIn this paper, I present an account of group competence that is explicitly framed for cases of epistemic performances. According to it, we must consider group epistemic competence as the group agents’ capacity to produce knowledge, and not the result of the summation of its individual members’ competences to produce knowledge. Additionally, I contend that group competence must be understood in terms of group normative status. To introduce my view, I present Jesper Kallestrup’s (Synthese 1–19, 2016) denial that group competence involves anything over and beyond the aggregation of individual competences. I have divided my response into two parts. First, I compare two conceptions of competence from Ernest Sosa’s reliabilist virtue epistemology (Sosa in Philos Stud 142:5–15, 2009; Philos Perspect 24:465–475, 2010a; Knowing full well, Princeton University Press, 2010b; Judgment & agency, Oxford University Press, 2015; Epistemology, Princeton University Press, 2017; in: Silva-Filho, Tateo (eds), Thinking about oneself: The place and value of reflection in philosophy and psychology, Springer, 2019) and David Löwenstein’s (Know-how as competence. A Rylean responsibilist account, Vittorio Klostermann, 2017) account of know-how. Second, I take the results from this comparison and apply them to the issue of group know-how, by the hand of Orestis Palermos and Deborah Tollefsen’s twofold approach to the topic (Palermos and Tollefsen, in: Carter, Clark, Kallestrup, Palermos, Pritchard (eds) Socially extended epistemology, Oxford University Press, 2018). Finally, I return to Kallestrup’s denial to make my point in favour of the conception of genuine group competence as the group normative status to achieve success.
