Abstract

[The third chapter of this book begins a three-part presentation of the central architectonic components of the dynamics (continued in the following chapters). In this chapter, we examine the so-called equivalence of hypothesis, inherited from Kepler, Galileo and Huygens, and see how it shaped the concept of force and the method of its measurement. The main aim is to show the theoretical independence of the equivalence of hypotheses and the theory of Leibnzian vis in order to understand how the former principle provides the limits of physical phenomena. It is within these limits that Leibniz vis can be understood as cause.]
