Entre les premiers developpements de la mecanique galileenne et la publication des Principia de Newton, s’est jouee une transformation radicale de la philosophie naturelle des modernes. Mathematiques, sciences de la nature et techniques de precision ont faconne d’une part une nouvelle maniere, active et operatoire, d’interroger la nature, et d’autre part une image du monde fondee sur l’idee d’une rationalite integrale des phenomenes. Interlocuteur infatigable de Mersenne, Galilee, Descartes, Leibniz ou Newton, Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) a assure un lien necessaire pour son epoque entre l’assimilation critique des Principes de la philosophie de Descartes, dont il retient l’exigence d’intelligibilite dans la conduite de la science, et la reception – critique elle aussi – des Principes mathematiques newtoniens. La methode de Huygens se structure dans les apports cartesien et galileen: choc des corps, oscillations du pendule, etude de la force et du mouvement en tant qu’expression de rapports geometriques, caracterisation de la nature de la lumiere sont autant de champs dans lesquels il est impossible de ne pas voir l’impregnation d’un questionnement philosophique permanent. C’est donc en philosophe tout autant qu’en physicien qu’il s’oppose aux definitions newtoniennes de la lumiere et de la pesanteur.
