La Mesure de l'Être: Le Problème de la Quantification Des Formes Au Moyen Âge (Ca. 1250-1370)

How many times does a body under constant acceleration travel in the second half of its motion the distance covered in the first half of it? Is it possible to compare the whiteness of a pearl to that of snow? Is a human being two times, three times or infinitely more perfect than a horse? In the late Middle Ages, these questions were hotly debated in relation to the problem of quantifying forms. This book is about understanding why these questions arose and how some of them contributed to the development of scientific knowledge.

Combien de fois un corps en acc?l?ration constante pendant un temps donn? parcourt-il dans la seconde moiti? de son mouvement la distance travers?e durant la premi?re ? Peut-on comparer la blancheur d'une perle ? celle de la neige ? L'?tre humain est-il deux fois, trois fois, ou infiniment plus parfait que le cheval ? ? la fin du Moyen ?ge, de telles questions furent au centre de vifs d?bats autour du probl?me de la quantification des formes. Comprendre pourquoi ces questions se pos?rent et comment certaines d'entre elles nous devinrent ?trang?res, quand d'autres contribu?rent directement au d?veloppement du savoir scientifique, est l'objet de cet ouvrage.
