  1. Extrait du chapitre XXVI de la Philosophie du comme si.Hans Vaihinger - 2005 - Philosophia Scientiae 9 (1):175-194.
    Nous proposons une traduction française d’un extrait du chapitre XXVI de l’édition populaire de Die Philosophie des Als Ob de Hans Vaihinger (édition populaire, 1923). L’enjeu de ce texte est de manifester, d’une part, que l’utilisation de fictions est nécessaire au traitement de certains problèmes théoriques et pratiques. D’autre part, il montre qu’utiliser des fictions afin de résoudre certains problèmes théoriques (en l’occurrence, mathématiques) ne conduit pas à l’erreur, pourvu que l’on adopte “la méthode des erreurs antithétiques.”.

  • The contingency angle: An philosophical issue in mathematics.Roshdi Rashed - 2012 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 22 (1):1 - 50.
    From Euclid to the second half of the 17th century, mathematicians as well as philosophers continued to raise the question of the angle of contact and, generally, of the concept of angle. This article is the first essay devoted to this subject in Arabic mathematics. It deals with Greek writings translated into Arabic on the one hand, and contributions of Arabic mathematicians on the other hand: al-Nayrīzī, Ibn al-Haytham, al-Samawʾal, al-Shīrāzī, al-Fārisī, al-Qūshjī, among others. Most of these contributions are hitherto (...)

  • Sharaf al-Dīn al- ūsī et le polygone de Newton.Christian Houzel - 1995 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 5 (2):239.
    The Treatise on Equations of Sharaf al-DsUmar al-Khayys a proof based on an intuitive notion of connexity. Secondly, al- develops algorithms for the numerical resolution of these third-degree equations. The first stage of one of these algorithms follows a procedure which is akin to the so-called method of Newton's polygon.

  • Experiment in Cartesian Courses: The Case of Professor Burchard de Volder.Tammy Nyden - 2010 - The Circulation of Science and Technology.
    In 1675, Burchard de Volder became the first university physics professor to introduce the demonstration of experiments into his lectures and to create a special university classroom, The Leiden Physics Theatre, for this specific purpose. This is surprising for two reasons: first, early pre-Newtonian experiment is commonly associated with Italy and England, and second, de Volder is committed to Cartesian philosophy, including the view that knowledge gathered through the senses is subject to doubt, while that deducted from first principles is (...)
