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.
