Contributing Authors

Ces deux opuscules ont une place a part dans la litterature scientifique grecque. Ils interesseront les historiens de la philosophie et des mathematiques.

Ces deux traites pseudo-aristoteliciens interesseront les historiens de la philosophie et des mathematiques. Les Problemes mecaniques concernent la mecanique theorique : ils n’ont pas pour but la construction de machines, mais explorent sous forme de questions les principes mathematiques susceptibles de rendre compte des dispositifs que le genie humain met en place pour mouvoir, sous l’action d’une faible force, des masses parfois considerables. Quantite d’observations concretes, empruntees au monde des artisans et des marins, font ainsi l’objet d’un questionnement theorique qui place le levier et les proprietes du cercle au centre des explications. Le traite Des lignes insecables propose, quant a lui, de refuter point par point les arguments mis en avant par les partisans de la theorie des lignes insecables, sans doute forgee par les disciples de Platon pour echapper aux consequences de la divisibilite illimitee des grandeurs.
