On the Relation between Natural Philosophy, Mathematics and Logic in the Investigation on Atomism in the Middle Ages

In the first half of the fourteenth century, a great polemic surrounding atomistic conceptions arose at the University of Oxford and the University of Paris. This paper will focus on the use of two tools of investigation on atomism, to wit, "thought experiments" and the "theory of sup...

Este trabajo se centrará en el uso de dos herramientas de investigación en el atomismo, a saber, los "experimentos de pensamiento" y la "teoría de la suposición", que revelan la prominencia de lo a priori en los debates medievales tardíos sobre el atomismo. El artículo pretende mostrar el papel heurístico de estas dos herramientas en la investigación de fenómenos no observables. Los escenarios imaginativos expresan la relación entre la filosofía natural, la matemática y la lógica, ilustrando la concepción medieval de la ciencia. 22018-01-0120182018-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/199213reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
