Abstract

En esta nota examinamos diferentes maneras de aplicar el Postulado 2 en los Elementos que conducen a interpretaciones diferentes del mismo. Concluimos que el texto de Euclides no muestra una práctica uniforme y sugerimos un modo de explicar las diferencias y de dar cuenta de manera coherente de esas diferentes aplicaciones.

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 application.
