Abstract
Even if no explicit meta-discourse on mathematics is found in pre-modern China outside of mathematical writings, reflections upon objects of mathematical inquiry and the mathematician’s toolbox existed. They are shown to be built into the corpus of Chinese mathematics itself. As illustrated in particular through one specific mathematical domain that evolved from the first to the 19th century, such philosophical reflections are dispersed between texts, paratexts and images, thereby borrowing concepts and iconic images from other Chinese contexts of philosophical nature.
期刊介绍：
The Laval théologique et philosophique (LTP) is specifically a university journal, published with the financial assistance of the Canadian Council for Research in Social Studies and the Fonds québécois de la recherche sur la société et la culture. Founded in 1945 by Charles De Koninck et Alphonse-Marie Parent with the goal of broadcasting the papers of professors and graduates of the Faculties of Theology and Philosophy at Université Laval, it very quickly occupied an important place in the area of research and teaching in Quebec, in Canada, and in the United States because of its dynamism.
