  • Overview

    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 accélération constante pendant un temps donné parcourt-il dans la seconde moitié de son mouvement la distance traversée durant la première ? Peut-on comparer la blancheur d’une perle à celle de la neige ? L’être humain est-il deux fois, trois fois, ou infiniment plus parfait que le cheval ? À la fin du Moyen Âge, de telles questions furent au centre de vifs débats autour du problème de la quantification des formes. Comprendre pourquoi ces questions se posèrent et comment certaines d’entre elles nous devinrent étrangères, quand d’autres contribuèrent directement au développement du savoir scientifique, est l’objet de cet ouvrage.
