«Du monde clos à l'univers infini» is Alexandre Koyré's essay on the history of cosmology, published by Gallimard in the Tel collection (349 pages, in French).
The book brings together studies by the philosopher and historian of science Alexandre Koyré that analyse how modern science replaced the image of a limited, ordered cosmos with that of an infinite universe. It examines the impact of the Galilean revolution, the new vision of space and motion, and the consequences of the notion of infinity for humanity's conception of itself and its place in the universe.
Work originally published in 1957 under the title «From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe». In this French edition it is part of the Tel collection, number 129.
Recommended for readers interested in the philosophy of science, the history of ideas, and the formation of modern scientific thought.
Alexandre Koyré, also anglicized as Alexander Koyre, was a French philosopher of Russian origin who wrote on the history and philosophy of science.
