  Mathesis Universalis: the Search for a Universal Science
Marciszewski Witold, "The principle of comprehension as a present-day contribution to mathesis universalis," Philosophia Naturalis 21: 523-537 (1984).
Mathesis universalis is closely linked with mathematical analysis; the theorem to be proved is taken as given, and the analyst seeks to discover that from which the theorem follows.
The characteristica universalis was never completed-it proved impossible, for example, to list its basic terms, the 'alphabet of human thoughts'-but parts of it did come to fruition, in the shape of Leibniz's infinitesimal calculus and his various logical calculi.

  Mathesis universalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathesis universalis (Greek mathesis - science, Latin universalis - universal) is a hypothetical universal science modelled on mathematics envisaged by Leibniz and Descartes.
It would be supported by a Calculus ratiocinator.
Predicate logic could be seen as a modern system with some of these universal characteristics, at least as far as mathematics and computer science are concerned.

reates a new genre; the "mathesis universalis", thus understood, is not the
branchs of mathematics : the mathesis prima (sive universalis).
mathesis universalis is not a new object, but "order" and "measure".

 20th WCP: The Heuristic Function of the Axiomatic Method
This axiomatic method is usually restricted to a non-philosophical approach to pure mathematics ('formalism').
But Hilbert was not an exclusive formalist; he proposed a mathesis universalis in the Cartesian-Leibnizian sense according to which mathematics is the syntactical tool for a general philosophy of science, applicable to all scientific disciplines.

Many texts recommend Culianu as a scholar whose main interest was that of promoting a new method of research for the history of religions and the philosophy of culture, and these references are not made only to his latest works, but also to his early ones.
Culianu's research firmly outstrips the classical canons of this discipline, constituting a kind of frontier research, thus anticipating a new paradigm, where important things happen at the intersection of great researches, that is on the frontier.
That's why it was said that after 1986 Culianu would pass from a local method (“a hermeneutic based upon explicative principles”2) to a mathesis universalis (“a universal principle of explaining any spiritual phenomenon, judging from its cognitive mechanism of engendering”3).

 From Number Mysticism to the Maßformel
The Mathesis universalis – which Max Bense appropriately characterized as “generalized mathematics of non-mathematical objects” – became a Leitfigur that shaped the entire tradition of modern natural science and its relation to mathematics from Pythagoras, Kepler, Descartes, Leibniz and Newton.
It is now an independent research area, which in the tradition of Mathesis universalis includes all the sciences that, according to Descartes, “examine measurement and order”, regardless of whether we examine psychological, physical or economical magnitudes.
In the great tradition of Mathesis universalis and right from the beginning as the central Leitmotif in the evolution of the natural sciences, Fechner’s achievements are extraordinary, though he himself would probably accuse us of misrepresenting his dearest ambition.

Mais concevoir la mathesis universalis comme un "jeu" ne nous semble aucunement scandaleux, si nous faisons le rapprochement avec la fameuse pensée d'Héraclite (citée par Nietzsche) sur "Dieu comme un enfant qui joue"...voir aussi "L'Esprit qui construit et déconstruit" chez Abellio et la "Fosse de Babel"....

 Stoichiometry (Concept of Jeremias Benjamin Richter)
He tried to formulate over the geometrical and arithmetic numbers of the Timaios-Cosmology or over the triangular series of the Pythagorean >Tetraktys< chemistry laws whereby the law of the constant proportions was represented as synthesis of two apriori valid geometrical or arithmetic series.
The same mathematical structures, with which Richter formulated its stoichiometric laws, were taken into consideration in the poetic arts of the baroque age (vid.
but >the Mathesis Universalis< as (pure, purposefrees) total science of a Christian-Platonic science theory, because Richter under all circumstances tried to formulate its chemical phenomena over firmly given sets of mathematical structures (`Characteristica Universalis ').

The latter was most influenced by two personalities: that of the Head himself who contributed philosophical knowledge and inspirations as well as some text-processing technologies, and Dr. Andrzej Trybulec (runs Applied Logic Section in the Institute of Informatics) who contributed his project MIZAR concerning automated deduction (see Mathesis Universalis No.3).
In 1995 the Department organized the 2nd International Workshop on automated reasoning in which took part John MacCarthy, the greatest champion in this domain (see Mathesis Universalis No.1, items 2-3, 2-4, the latter containing a picture of participants).
In 1997-99 a grant: "Research on natural and artificial intelligence by the automated reasoning" (8 T11C 018 12) received from KBN (Polish Ministry of Science) concerning applications of mechanized reasoning in AI and N(atural)I research.

 Truth Criteria in the Transcendental Analytic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The argument is aimed at the programme of mathesis universalis and, in particular, at Wolff’s attempts to formulate a criterion using the meagre resources of general logic.
This paper examines how Kant uses that argument to introduce the idea of a transcendental logic and then to realize its analytic.
The paper’s final section considers how Kant’s concern to distance himself from the ambitions of mathesis universalis leads him to obscure his true position regarding criteria of truth.
