Maupertuis: an intellectual biography - Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment
David Beeson
This intellectual biography stands as the definitive account of Maupertuis's career. His much-publicised quarrel with Voltaire - which ultimately destroyed him - has cast a long shadow over his reputation. Maupertuis's true contribution to eighteenth-century scientific debate re-emerges clearly in this important reassessment.
