This paper aims to follow some of the key stages that the term logistiké passed through thanks to the double meaning it received since its appearance in ancient Greece: a more technical one (i.e. reckoning) and a more general one (i.e. reflecting, thinking).

Abstract

This paper aims to follow some of the key stages that the term logistiké passed through thanks to the double meaning it received since its appearance in ancient Greece: a more technical one (i.e. reckoning) and a more general one (i.e. reflecting, thinking). Taking as a starting point the Pythagorean Archytas, the discussion will take into account Plato’s very influential contribution, its developments, the modern age with a special focus on Leibniz, and the revival of the notion in French in 19th century.
