Medieval Cosmology: Theories of Infinity, Place, Time, Void, and the Plurality of Worlds Paperback - 1987

by Pierre Duhem


First line

From the start of the fourteenth century the grandiose edifice of Peripatetic physics was doomed to destruction.

From the rear cover

These selections from Le systeme du monde, the classic ten-volume history of the physical sciences written by the great French physicist Pierre Duhem (1861-1916), focus on cosmology, Duhem's greatest interest. By reconsidering the work of such Arab and Christian scholars as Averroes, Avicenna, Gregory of Rimini, Albert of Saxony, Nicole Oresme, Duns Scotus, and William of Occam, Duhem demonstrated the sophistication of medieval science and cosmology.
