Abstract

From a more physicalistic point of view the paper gives a brief overview of Boscovich’s thought about the bilayer of space and time, real space and time, and mathematical space and time, without going into philosophical analysis in detail. The paper provides examples of possible correspondence between Boscovich’s thought and physicalist concepts in modern physics.
