Description
a major figure in Bordoni When Historiography Met Epistemology (2017) ch. 4 ("Mathematics & Determinism"), Boussinesq discussed what singular solutions to DEs might mean in the context of the debate on determinism
It seems only the first pages are philosophically relevant, as the rest of it goes over mathematical details
"Maxwell, Stewart, Cournot, Saint-Venant, and Boussinesq" were the key figures in this debate (ibid. p. 137).
