La mesure de l'etre: Le probleme de la quantification des formes au Moyen Age (ca. 1250-1370)

The aim of this book is to analyze the problem of the intensity of forms in the late Middle Ages and to show how this debate eventually gave rise to a new metaphysical project in the 14th century: the project of quantifying the different types of perfections existing in the universe - that is the project of measuring being .

Cet ouvrage se propose d'analyser l'histoire du debat relatif a l'intensite des formes au Moyen Age, et de retracer la maniere dont il conduisit au XIVe siecle a l'emergence d'un projet metaphysique nouveau : celui de quantifier les perfections contenues dans l'univers et, ainsi, de mesurer l'etre .
