Système du Monde

The "Système du Monde" (System of the World) is a work by the philosopher and mathematician Daniel Bernoulli from 1734, which explores how natural phenomena, including celestial and terrestrial mechanics, can be understood through scientific principles. It discusses the interconnectedness of the universe, emphasizing that the same laws govern both physical objects and celestial bodies. Bernoulli's work contributes to the development of scientific thinking about the natural world as a unified system, helping lay the groundwork for later advancements in physics and astronomy. It aims to explain the universe's order and predictability based on scientific reasoning.
