  • Études sur le rôle de la pensée médiévale dans la formation du système cartésien.Étienne Gilson - 1984 - Paris,: Librarie Philosophique J. Vrin.
    Si l'histoire de la pensee medievale inclut celle de ses influences, comme l'histoire de la pensee moderne celle de ses sources, il est alors doublement legitime de se demander ce que peut nous apprendre sur la pensee cartesienne sa confrontation historique avec la pensee medievale, au contact de laquelle elle s'est formee, et a l'encontre de laquelle elle s'est developpee. Prenant la suite de travaux anterieurs, cet ouvrage d'Etienne Gilson envisage tout d'abord la confrontation dans une perspective genetique (en cherchant (...)

  • Science and Hypothesis: Historical Essays on Scientific Methodology.Larry Laudan & R. Laudan - 1981 - Springer.
    This book consists of a collection of essays written between 1965 and 1981. Some have been published elsewhere; others appear here for the first time. Although dealing with different figures and different periods, they have a common theme: all are concerned with examining how the method of hy pothesis came to be the ruling orthodoxy in the philosophy of science and the quasi-official methodology of the scientific community. It might have been otherwise. Barely three centuries ago, hypothetico deduction was in (...)

  • Towards an Historiography of Science. [REVIEW]Nicholas Rescher - 1965 - Philosophical Review 74 (1):115-117.
    Bacon's inductivist philosophy of science divides thinkers into the scientific and the prejudiced, using as a standard the up-to-date science textbook. Inductivists regard the history of science as progressing smoothly, from facts rather than from problems, to increasingly general theories, undisturbed by contending scientific schools. Conventionalists regard theories as pigeonholes for classifying facts; history of science is the development of increasingly simple theories, neither true nor false. Conventionalism is useless for reconstructing and weighing conflicts between schools, and overemphasizes science's internal (...)

  • La pensée religieuse de Descartes.Henri Gouhier - 1972 - Paris: J. Vrin.
    L'auteur n'etudie pas le cartesianisme, rationalisme suspect, aux yeux de certains catholiques, de mettre la foi en danger. Il prend le parti de revenir a Descartes lui-meme, a la genese de son oeuvre, liee aux evenements d'une vie, elle-meme liee a l'histoire de son siecle. Une premiere partie y distingue des periodes comprenant des rencontres decisives, des voyages, des publications (sources de polemiques), des projets. A partir de 1640 le cartesianisme est reconnu par les mondains, les savants, les religieux, et (...)

  • Mersenne ou la naissance du mécanisme.Robert Lenoble - 1971 - Librairie Philosophique J Vrin.
    Longtemps eclipse, Mersenne est cependant un personnage eminemment representatif de la pensee du public instruit de son temps, celle qui quitte la scolastique pour le mecanisme. Mersenne s'illustre comme le secretaire de l'Europe savante, en servant d'intermediaire entre les chercheurs. Depuis le rationalisme cartesien jusqu'au sensualisme de Hobbes, l'eclectisme de Mersenne est plus des plus instructifs. C'est pourquoi la part qu'il a prise dans le grand travail collectif d'ou sortit la philosophie nouvelle meritait d'etre tiree d'un injuste oubli. Robert Lenoble (...)
