Nicole Oresme on Motion and the Atomization of the Continuum

As Aristotle classically defined it, continuity is the property of being infinitely divisible into ever-divisible parts. How has this conception been affected by process mathematization motion during 14th century? This paper focuses on Nicole Oresme, who extensively commented Aristotle’s Physics, but also made decisive contributions to mathematics motion. Oresme’s attitude about seems ambivalent: one hand, he never really departs from conception, other uses it in a completely new way his mathematics, particularly Questions Euclidean geometry, tantamount an atomization If fluxus theory natural involves that essential real motion, as res successiva, ontological and mathematical structure implies continuum some “composed” infinite number indivisibles. In fact, analysis opened path kind continuity.
