Résumé (eng) Jean-Noël Pascal : D'Alembert's dream of love. After a brief account of d'Alembert's relationship with Julie de Lespinasse, this article studies the two "tombs" which the mathematician dedicated to his friend. It appears that the woman who looked on him as simply a friend was the object on his part of a devouring, romantic ...
Its companion-piece, D'Alembert's Dream, outlines a material, atheistic view of the universe, expressed through the fevered dreams of Diderot's friend D'Alembert.
