This work studies the way in which, between 1670 and 1790, the development of observation, experimentation and physical measurement imposed a new kind of administration of proof and announced a new intellectual and social order founded on natural reason.

Review - French Heritier d'une Revolution scientifique qui a fait des lois mathematiques la forme supreme de connaissance de la nature, le XVIIIsiecle accorde une importance croissante a la diversite des phenomenes. L'observation, l'experimentation, la mesure de precision permettent d'etablir de nouveaux faits , dont l'interpretation oppose les philosophes des Lumieres aux savants chretiens. Il s'ensuit un relevement des exigences en matiere de preuves empiriques, qui permet l'essor de l'histoire naturelle, de la physique experimentale et des sciences de la terre. Entre contemplation de la nature et promesses de sa maitrise s'elaborent ainsi peu a peu les conditions de l'avenement de la science moderne.
