Abstract
"What is Geometry?", fourth volume of the series "Advanced Studies in Mathematics and Logic", collects contributions written by some of the most representative working scientists in this field of research: Samet Bagce, Umberto Bartocci, Luciano Boi, Paulus Gerdes, Amit Hagar, Pascal O'Gorman, Yuri A. Rylov, Emil Saucan. This publication aims to propose new trends and perspectives through which to analyse the past, the present and the future of Geometry.
