Description “I stress the opposition between the metaphysical and theological conceptions of Maupertuis, who thought that action is a real quantity acting in nature which God minimizes in motion and in any other physical phenomena, and the conception of Euler, who interpreted action as a mathematical entity, expressed in the form of an integral, that characterizes any mechanical system.” From the English abstract.
