Jan Fokkes Holwarda. A Gassendist in Franeker, Between Intellectual Debt and Plagiarism
This article explores Gassendi’s influence on the Franeker professor Jan Fokkes Holwarda (1618–1651), author of a posthumously published Philosophia naturalis, seu physica vetus-nova (1651). In the section of the book devoted to celestial physics, Holwarda pays homage to the ‘Gallic Lynx, Pierre Gassendi’ and discusses at length his astronomical observations. Gassendi’s name, by contrast, does not figure in the section on general physics, where H…

Discussing What Would Happen: The Role of Thought Experiments in Galileo’s Dialogues
Thought experiments play an important epistemic, rhetorical, and didactic function in Galileo’s dialogues. In some cases, Salviati, Sagredo, and Simplicio agree about what would happen in an imaginary scenario and try to understand whether the predicted outcome is compatible with their respective theoretical assumptions. There are, however, also situations in which the predictions of the three interlocutors turn out to be theory laden. Salviati, …

The Isomorphism of Space, Time and Matter in Seventeenth-century Natural Philosophy
This article documents the general tendency of seventeenth-century natural philosophers, irrespective of whether they were atomists or anti-atomists, to regard space, time and matter as magnitudes having the same internal composition. It examines the way in which authors such as Fromondus, Basson, Sennert, Arriaga, Galileo, Magnen, Descartes, Gassendi, Charleton as well as the young Newton motivated their belief in the isomorphism of space, time …
The Geometrization of Motion: Galileo’s Triangle of Speed and its Various Transformations
This article analyzes Galileo’s mathematization of motion, focusing in particular on his use of geometrical diagrams. It argues that Galileo regarded his diagrams of acceleration not just as a complement to his mathematical demonstrations, but as a powerful heuristic tool. Galileo probably abandoned the wrong assumption of the proportionality between the degree of velocity and the space traversed in accelerated motion when he realized that it was…

Pierre Gassendi's Life and Letters
Sylvie Taussig's Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655). Introduction ai la savante, and Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655). Lettres latines, although published as independent volumes, have been conceived as complementary works. The critical study on Pierre Gassendi, which we find in the Introduction at la savante, is in fact mainly based on material drawn from Gassendi's Latin correspondence, originally published in the sixth volume of the Opera omnia (Lyon, 1658…

Infinite Degrees of Speed Marin Mersenne and the Debate Over Galileo's Law of Free Fall
This article analyzes the evolution of Mersenne's views concerning the validity of Galileo's theory of acceleration. After publishing, in 1634, a treatise designed to present empirical evidence in favor of Galileo's odd-number law, Mersenne developed over the years the feeling that only the elaboration of a physical proof could provide sufficient confirmation of its validity. In the present article, I try to show that at the center of Mersenne's …
