Samenvatting
What is the title of this book intended to signify, what connotations is the adjective Postmodern meant to carry? A potential reader will surely pose this question. To answer it, I should describe what distinguishes the - proach to analysis presented here from what has by its protagonists been called Modern Analysis . Modern Analysis as represented in the works of the Bourbaki group or in the textbooks by Jean Dieudonn' e is characterized by its systematic and axiomatic treatment and by its drive towards a high level of abstraction. Given the tendency of many prior treatises on analysis to degenerate into a collection of rather unconnected tricks to solve special problems, this de? nitely represented a healthy achievement. In any case, for the development of a consistent and powerful mathe... (Lees verder)matical theory, it seems to be necessary to concentrate solely on the internal problems and structures and to neglect the relations to other ? elds of scienti? c, even of mathematical study for a certain while. Almost complete isolation may be required to reach the level of intellectual elegance and perfection that only a good mathem- ical theory can acquire. However, once this level has been reached, it can be useful to open one's eyes again to the inspiration coming from concrete external problems.
