Indivisible Parts and Extended Objects: Some Philosophical Episodes from Topology's Prehistory

L'A. retrace la prehistoire de la topologie depuis la problematisation philosophique de la nature et de la substance chez Zenon et Aristote, jusqu'au statut des solides etendus dans la physique moderne, en etudiant le debat opposant les partisans de l'indivisibilisme aux partisans de l'anti-indivisibilisme, tels que Brentano et Whitehead
