Abstracts

EN

Pál Makó was a prominent Hungarian mathematician and physicist of the 18th century. The paper shows the cultural-historical background of his work as well as the scientific-historical precedents of his life-work. The influence of the milieu of the University of Nagyszombat on his thinking is taken into account as well. Further, the paper sheds light on Makó´s interpretation of Leibniz and Ch. Wolff in his philosophical books and on his adaptation of advanced mathematics as the zenith of his career. An attention is paid also to the methodology of his text-books and scientific and philosophical-historical lessons of his manuscripts.
