(1995) Québec studies in the philosophy of science, part I, Dordrecht, Springer.

This elegant and powerful system, permitting not only the explanation but also the prediction both of planetary motion and of earthbound trajectories, set the tone of modern thought in many domains, and unequivocally so in the domain of ethical thought.
