Full textIn our thesis, we try to demonstrate how the Cartesian physics, specially that of the Traité and of the Principes, is constituted from the mathesis. From this angle, we tried to see in the mathesis, on the one hand, a discipline that is able to substitute ambiguous representations, originated in the sensitive experience, through scientific codes, providing these codes a grammar - composed by laws which support the building of a net of empirical propositions. Thus, the mathesis enabled a “figuration” of nature, showing through experience the size of the compatibility between the real and the simulacrum of science. On the other hand, we tried to emphasize the normative role of the mathesis that constrains the sciences to display their results according to a common deductive order, which goes from the simplest results to the most obscure ones, demonstrating the conceptual dependence grade between them

Full textThe noncompletion of Descartes'Regulae and the disappearance of the syntagma of mathesis universalis in later works lead us to believe a self-denial on Descartes behalf wich express itself in his failure to structure reality. To investigate the question of Descartes'locus presumes follow the evolution of his thought and allows a transversal course of his work. The notion of locus permits such a voyage by expressing itself first trough a paradox that leads us to the heart of Descartes' philosophy: we expect to find its definition in the field of physics and we are surprised to know that bodies fill no locus, because they don't move from one locus to another and, more radically, whereas every movement is relative, we can legitimately consider that the same body does and does not move. Such a conception seems not to allow a mathematical physics. Such a failure has also to be connected to an evolution in Cartesian's conceptions improved in the Regulae, especially concerning the part of imagination; The exertion of ingenium nevrtheless supposes the existence of a body that incarnates. So that it is possible to wonder in Which way the world is the locus of God (Eucharisty) as is the body the locus of the soul

Full textMy aim, in this dissertation, is to explore the various aspects of the process of figuration in Descartes’ philosophy, particularly with respect to the knowledge of natural bodies. Moving from Descartes’ early to his more mature works, we find that the notion of figure (or shape) played a variety of roles: it possessed a methodological function, as a conventional representation of the relations between our notions, but also designated, respectively, a geometrical object, a mode of extension assigned by metaphysics to the reality of bodies, and an external delimitation of sensible bodies or of invisible corpuscles in physics. In analyzing these different functions, my aim is to understand how Descartes’ thought evolved from the Regulae to later texts, while trying to answer a new problem that did not exist for the scholastics, namely that of the knowledge of the shape of determined bodies. This problem arose partly because Descartes’ metaphysics had established shape as an essential mode of bodily extension, while at the time refusing a priori to appeal to sensation for knowledge, but it also emerged for purely epistemological reasons in the process of constituting a new physics. In my thesis, I argue that one key to this problem is to be found in the theory of vision, presented in the Dioptrique, a text that moves, however, towards a corpuscular physics that relies on a specific use of imagination and experience. From this analysis of the notion of figure or shape, we are able to shed a different light on what so far has been considered an integral aspect of the 17th century’s mathematisation of nature
Say, Constant. "Construction des concepts et principes fondateurs de la physique classique : cas de la dynamique newtonienne." Paris 7, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA070105.
Full textIn opposition to a. Widespread opinion that considere Newton to have founded rational mechanics by leaning on the works of Galileo. Kepler and Huygens, and then rejecting "Cartesian physics", this thesis sheds new light on the construction, of classic mechanics. Indeed. In this work we are interested in the epistemological obstacles that scholars of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries met during the elaboration of the concepts and the key principles of physics. These will serve at the end of the XVIIth century to build the axioms of Newtonian mechanics. We demonstrate, from a historical and critical reading, that the theoretical foundations of modem mechanics are elaborated during the conceptual controversy pitting Descartes against Newton on the issue of circular movement, From this content, the great English scientist introduces his notion of '"absolute" space as that which guarantees the "|aw of inertia". From this axiom, Newton can organize all the essential concepts of his theory. This concerns essentially the concept of "force" and the notion of "mass". The latter being essential to the quantification of "forces", which are the heart of Newtonian theory. Beyond the difficulties of a mathematical and physical order that are proper to Newtonian theory, our work allows us to bring to light the inessential character of "absolute" space, ''inertia" and "centrifugal force", thus demonstrating the paradox between the operational dimension of a theory and the ontological status of concepts it uses

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study - through the analysis of a manuscript that contains a course of ‘natural philosophy’ thought out and prepared for students - the incidence and the significance of the Cartesian philosophy in Rome at the end of the XVIIth century. The manuscript 2094, which is preserved in the Library Casanatense of Rome, contains part of this course, written in 1689-1690 by Vitale Giordani (1633-1711), professor of mathematics in the university ‘Sapienza’. The interest of this script comes from the fact that it was the first Italian translation – even if incomplete – so far known, of physiological works of Descartes, Description du corps humain, Homme, et Passions de l'âme, as well as, considering the whole course, Principia philosophiae, Dioptrique, Météores et Meditationes de philosophia prima. These translation document – and this is the aim of the thesis – the penetration of Cartesian philosophy in Rome, that must be inserted with Naples, as the center of circulation and diffusion of the Cartesianism in the Modern Age. The course demonstrates the need to spread the texts of Descartes, translating and constituting a textbook on which to base the teaching of modern natural philosophy. The thesis is divided in two volumes of which the first is devoted to the analysis of the manuscript, situating the work and the author in the context of roman studies, while the second includes the annotated edition of the manuscript

Full textThe present dissertation is an introduction to the system of the world, from Copernicus to Newton. The author studies first the status of method as order in Melanchthon and Suarez ; then he shows how theological concepts have been worked out in an epistemological context: vacuum, time, substance are studied with the helpp of theological tools : the empyreum, the aevum, the Eucharist. From the physica sacra, which is a transposition of the scriptures into a scientific scheme (comenius), to the religiophilosophica of cotton mather, xviith century science is built in a religious and metaphysical context. Nor does cartesianism stand aside, being absorbed by the dutch universities in order to fight for new scholasticism and being attacked as theologia cartesiana
Saliceti, Marion. "La constitution malebranchiste de la conscience sensible." Thesis, Paris 1, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA01H205.
Full textThis study address Malebranche's analysis of consciousness ans sensibility. It tends to show how Malebranche, by an accurate account of its concrete conditions and metaphysical setting, developing a psychology of interiority and day to day experience and considering sensation as a key phenomenon, involving both mind and body union and God's action, achieves to give an utterly original description of what he refers to as consciousness or 'inner feeling'. This appears mainly through the shifts Malebranche impulses to the cartesian framework of noetics and psychology.However, despite obvious differences between their conceptions, this study will show that Malebranche's analysis can as well be undestood as an extension, yet critical and paradoxal, of some lines of inquiry Descartes himself had suggested
Smith, Nathan D. "Les origines du concept cartésien de l’esprit dans les Règles pour la direction de l’esprit." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040096.
Full textThe dissertation aims to contextualize and understand the Regulae ad directionem ingenii as embodying theses central to the development of Descartes' mature metaphysical concept of mind. I argue that the Regulae demonstrates a tendancy toward a dualistic concept of mind. The reasons for this, I believe, are largely methodoligical. In the Regulae, Descartes develops the philosophical foundations for a scientific method that, he thought, would allow him to solve some of the most puzzling phenomena in nature and mathematics. This method is basically predicated on the idea that all natural phenomena, i.e., physical entities, can be understood by reducing those entities to geometrical models. These geometrical models could understood and explained either mechanically or algebraically. In either case, for Descartes the scientific method is essentially reductive. As a consequence,, he clearly believes that the models that explain the physical world are not the same as those that explain the nature of the mind. Furthermore, in the Regulae, the mind appears to be a vehicle for understanding the physical world, through the physiology of the brain and by determining the scientific parameters for any representation or explanation of the physical world. Thus, the mind is truly separated from the physical world in two senses: it cannot be reduced to physical principles and it organizes and found those physical principles. We will see how this is the case by focusing on four issues: (1) the historical significance of the text in the development of Descartes' thought (2) the mathesis universalis (3) the physiology of cognition and (4) the simple natures
