Abel Lassalle-Casanave et al., « Sobre el significado del Postulado 2 de los Elementos * », HAL-SHS : histoire, philosophie et sociologie des sciences et des techniques, ID : 10670/1.b1sq82
In this note we shall consider different ways to apply Postulate 2 in Euclid’s Elements, each of which corresponds to a different interpretation of this. We conclude that Euclid’s text displays a non-uniform practice, and suggest a way to explain differences and give a coherent account of these different applications.
