Book synopsis

Jean le Rond d'Alembert (1717-1783), known for having assisted Denis Diderot in editing the Encyclopédie, played a key role in the Century of Enlightenment. As a mathematician, he opened new pathways for the development of mathematical calculation methods, as a physician, he unified the principles of solid and fluid mechanics, and made considerable contributions to mathematical astronomy. Lastly, as a philosopher, he developed an authentic epistemology before it was a science, which enabled him to critically examine the origin and significance of scientific knowledge. He was particularly interested in the issue of their scope of validity and the conditions related to their application.Michel Paty, of the CNRS, holds a doctorate in philosophy and the physical sciences, and has published many books, of which Einstein is included in this collection.
