Christian Wolf is a German philosopher, a follower of Leibnitz and the main object of Kantian criticism. In the German tradition, he approaches architecture as a branch of mathematics, along with optics, perspective and gnomonics, which are also treated in this work. Architecture occupies the greater part of Volume 3, alongside the art of fortifications and pyrotechnics.
