Abstract

De 1683 à 1694, Antoine Arnauld et Nicolas Malebranche, anciens " amis " et prêtres que leur intérêt pour Descartes, leur révérence pour Augustin et leur commune inquiétude face au " libertinage " semblaient pourtant destiner à s'entendre, polémiquèrent violemment. En insistant sur l'aspect philosophique de ces débats, cet ouvrage propose la première interprétation d'ensemble de cette célèbre confrontation. Y a-t-il de sérieuses raisons philosophiques au désaccord entre Arnauld et Malebranche ? Leur détermination permet-elle d'éclairer certains aspects du malebranchisme ? Existe-t-il une philosophie d'Antoine Arnauld et peut-on en préciser les contenus ? Répondre à ces trois questions amène à éclaircir trois champs de recherche. En premier lieu, la polémique entre Arnauld et Malebranche fut un événement intellectuel. Nombreux furent les grands esprits contemporains qui prirent position et se trouvèrent ainsi impliqués, à des degrés divers, dans l'empoignade. En signalant leurs réactions, on voit apparaître les contours des camps philosophiques des années 1680, ainsi que quelques-unes des lignes de fracture conceptuelles qui contribuèrent à cette " crise de la conscience européenne " dont parlait Paul Hazard. En second lieu, les références à Descartes sont fréquentes chez Malebranche, incessantes chez Arnauld : en interrogeant le statut et les modalités de ces renvois et rapports croisés à une grande figure absente qui hante le débat, on précise le statut de la catégorie " cartésianisme " en histoire des idées. Enfin, Malebranche et Arnauld parlent souvent de Dieu. Au point de fuite de ce travail, on est alors conduit à une nouvelle interrogation : l'impuissance théologique du cartésianisme est-elle congénitale, ou bien peut-on tirer des dividendes théologiques de la philosophie cartésienne sans en faire jouer les structures et en modifier les concepts fondamentaux ?

Abstract

A consideration of the allegory of Christ the Divine Physician in medical and religious writings. Discourses of physical and spiritual health were intricately entwined in the Middle Ages, shaping intellectual concepts as well as actual treatment. The allegory of Christ as Divine Physician is an example of this intersection: it appears frequently in both medical and religious writings as a powerful figure of healing and salvation, and was invoked by dissidents and reformists in religious controversies.Drawing on previously unexplored manuscript material, this book examines the use of the Christus Medicus tradition during a period of religious turbulence. Via an interdisciplinary analysis of literature, sermons, and medical texts, it shows that Wycliffites in England and Hussites in Bohemia used concepts developed in hospital settings to press for increased lay access to Scripture and the sacraments against the strictures of the Church hierarchy. Tracing a story of reform and controversy from localised institutional contexts to two of the most important pan-European councils of the fifteenth century, Constance and Basel, it argues that at a point when the body of the Church was strained by multiple popes, heretics and schismatics, the allegory came into increasing use to restore health and order.

Abstract

The legendary Renaissance math duel that ushered in the modern age of algebraThe Secret Formula tells the story of two Renaissance mathematicians whose jealousies, intrigues, and contentious debates led to the discovery of a formula for the solution of the cubic equation. Niccolò Tartaglia was a talented and ambitious teacher who possessed a secret formula—the key to unlocking a seemingly unsolvable, two-thousand-year-old mathematical problem. He wrote it down in the form of a poem to prevent other mathematicians from stealing it. Gerolamo Cardano was a physician, gifted scholar, and notorious gambler who would not hesitate to use flattery and even trickery to learn Tartaglia's secret.Set against the backdrop of sixteenth-century Italy, The Secret Formula provides new and compelling insights into the peculiarities of Renaissance mathematics while bringing a turbulent and culturally vibrant age to life. It was an era when mathematicians challenged each other in intellectual duels held outdoors before enthusiastic crowds. Success not only enhanced the winner's reputation, but could result in prize money and professional acclaim. After hearing of Tartaglia's spectacular victory in one such contest in Venice, Cardano invited him to Milan, determined to obtain his secret by whatever means necessary. Cardano's intrigues paid off. In 1545, he was the first to publish a general solution of the cubic equation. Tartaglia, eager to take his revenge by establishing his superiority as the most brilliant mathematician of the age, challenged Cardano to the ultimate mathematical duel.A lively and compelling account of genius, betrayal, and all-too-human failings, The Secret Formula reveals the epic rivalry behind one of the fundamental ideas of modern algebra.
