Stewart Shapiro (Ohio) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (18 December, 2014) titled "An Aristotelian continuum". Abstract: Geoffrey Hellman and I are working on a point-free account of the continuum. The current version is “gunky” in that it does not recognize points, as part of regions, but it does make essential use of actual infinity. The purp…
