Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Venus physique / The Earthly Venus La Haye, 1745 Maupertuis' work is an early attempt at a materialistic explanation of the origin of species, anticipating Darwin by a century. Excerpt: Natural variation and selection give rise to functional design "Could one not say that, in the fortuitous combinations of the productions of nature, as there must be some characterized by a certain relation of fitness which are able to subsist, it is not to be wondered at that this fitness is present in all the species that are currently in existence? Chance, one would say, produced an innumerable multitude of individuals; a small number found themselves constructed in such a manner that the parts of the animal were able to satisfy its needs; in another infinitely greater number, there was neither fitness nor order: all of these latter have perished. Animals lacking a mouth could not live; others lacking reproductive organs could not perpetuate themselves... The species we see today are but the smallest part of what blind destiny has produced..." (my translation). "Ne pourrait-on pas dire que, dans la combinaison fortuite des productions de la nature, comme il n'y avait que celles où se trouvaient certain rapport de convenance qui puissent subsister, il n'est pas marveilleux que cette convenance se trouve dans toutes les espèces qui existent actuellement? Le hasard, dirait-on, avait produit une multitude innombrable d'individus; un petit nombre se trouvait construit de manière que les parties de l'animal pouvaient satisfaire à ses besoins; dans un autre infiniment plus grand, il n'y avait ni covenance, ni ordre: tous ces derniers ont péri; des animaux sans bouche ne pouvaient pas vivre, d'autres qui manquaient d'organes pour la génération ne pouvaient se perpétuer... les espèces que nous voyons aujourd'hui ne sont que la plus petite partie de ce qu'un destin aveugle avait produit..."

"La Venere fisica" A cura di Federico Focher. "La Venere fisica" pubblicata anonima nel 1745, è una breve opera sugli aspetti fisici dell'amore e sull'origine degli uomini e degli animali. Un libro ricco di brillanti intuizioni "evolutive" e "genetiche", in cui la discussione dei fatti e delle ipotesi scientifiche viene qua e là piacevolmente interrotta da galanti digressioni rivolte al raffinato pubblico femminile, destinatario formale dell'opera. La "Vénus" ebbe all'epoca notevole successo: citata più volte nell'Encyclopédie, fu elogiata da Buffon nella "Histoire naturelle" ed esercitò una palese influenza sul pensiero biologico del XVIII secolo. Introdotta da un ampio saggio sulla figura e l'opera di Maupertuis, viene qui fedelmente riproposta la rara traduzione italiana, pubblicata nel 1767 a Venezia con il titolo "La Venere fisica del signor di Maupertuis, traduzione dal francese di Diodato Anniani Romano". Fu autore di diverse opere scientifiche ("Saggio di cosmologia", 1750, "Lettera sul progresso delle scienze", 1752), e di opere morali ("Saggio di filosofia morale", 1749).

Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Maupertuis, Pierre Louis Moreau de (Saint Malo, Francia, 1698-Basilea, Suiza, 1759) Matemático y astrónomo francés. En 1731 fue nombrado miembro de la Academia de las Ciencias de París, desde cuyo atrio se convirtió en uno de los más firmes defensores de la teoría de la gravitación de Newton. En 1736 dirigió una expedición a Laponia para medir la longitud de un arco de meridiano terrestre de 1º de longitud angular con tal de verificar la hipótesis newtoniana de que la Tierra es una esfera achatada por los polos. El éxito de la expedición le valió el ser nombrado miembro de la Academia de las Ciencias de Berlín y, más tarde, su presidente. En 1744 enunció el principio de la mínima acción a partir de la hipótesis de Fermat sobre el comportamiento de los rayos luminosos según la cual cuando la luz atraviesa varios medios de distinta densidad, sigue el camino por el cual el tiempo de recorrido es mínimo (camino óptico).

"The Man Who Flattened the Earth: Maupertuis and the Sciences in the Enlightenment (review)" Journal of Interdisciplinary History - Volume 35, Number 4, Spring 2005, pp. 631-632 The MIT Press Excerpt Journal of Interdisciplinary History [Access article in PDF] For some time, historians of early modern science have evinced less interest in the content of scientific work than in its social context. Terrall's intellectual biography of Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis continues this pattern, demonstrating in the process the historiographical riches still to be mined with this approach. Terrall distinguishes her study from previous works on Maupertuis by arguing that earlier investigations failed to illuminate "what it meant to do science and be a man of science in the eighteenth century" (7).

Pierre Moreau De Maupertuis (1698 – 1759) A Fait Des Débuts Scientifiques Rema Translate this page pierre Moreau de maupertuis (1698 – 1759) a fait des débuts scientifiques remarquésgrâce à son zèle à faire connaître en France les idées de Newton. http://www.academie-stanislas.org/Resume J.L. Rivail.htm

Résumé de la communication : Maupertuis et le principe de moindre action , par J.L. Rivail Le principe de moindre action a également alimenté un débat d’une grande actualité en ce milieu du 18 e siècle, celui des causes finales. Maupertuis se place délibérément à mi-chemin entre les rationalistes qui n’admettent aucune considérations métaphysiques dans leur raisonnement et les autres qui cherchent à établir les lois de la nature comme la manifestation d’une sagesse supérieure. Ce débat apparaît comme exemplaire du retournement opéré par le Siècle des Lumières. Nous savons aujourd’hui que pour établir son principe, Maupertuis a commis une double erreur, d’une part en assimilant la lumière à une particule obéissant à la mécanique classique, et d’autre part en utilisant l’hypothèse que la vitesse de la lumière est proportionnelle à l’indice de réfraction, alors qu’il s’agit d’une relation de proportionnalité inverse, hypothèse utilisée par Fermat pour établir le chemin de temps minimum, et dont le principe est toujours tenu pour vrai. Le paradoxe de cette démonstration fausse a été résolu au 20 e siècle lorsqu’il fut montré par Einstein que la lumière est à la fois onde et particule (le photon) dont la quantité de mouvement est proportionnelle à l’indice de réfraction, puis par L. de Broglie qu’une particule matérielle peut être représentée par une onde, et que les principes de Fermat et de Maupertuis sont équivalents si l’on applique cette correspondance. Par la suite, Feynman montrera que le chemin qui vérifie le principe de moindre action n’est autre que le chemin de probabilité maximum au sens de la mécanique quantique.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality French Maupertuis, Pierre de (1698-1759) French physicist who formulated the least action principle which states that nature chooses the most economical path for moving bodies, light rays, etc. The principle was mathematically refined later by William Rowan Hamilton . Maupertuis claimed that the principle provided a metaphysical proof of the existence of God. Maupertuis also investigated polydactylism and the transmission of abnormal characteristics. His interest in the subject was founded in embryology, however, rather than heredity. He was the driving force behind expeditions to Lapland, near the North Pole, and Peru, on the equator, to measure the difference in the Earth's radius. He accompanied the team (which included Clairaut ) to Lapland and, in 1747, the two groups proved Newton's prediction that the earth was an oblate spheroid to be correct, while Descartes's theory which predicted an ovate Earth to be wrong.
