Leonardo da Vinci: Cause, effect, linearity, and memory.
Journal of Advanced Research 2018 November
In this contribution, some textual portions of the Leonardo da Vinci's work were analyzed with the aim to highlight how, moving from Aristotle and going beyond him, he combines the intermediate positions that, from the Greek philosopher, passing through Buridan, arrive to Newton. This has been performed following a path that passes through the formulation of the principle of causality, the use of the concept of linear relationship (pyramidal law) between cause and effect and the introduction of a duration of the impression (memory) of mechanical systems. In the framework of the studies aimed to a valorization of Leonardo as a scientist, which is a crucial aspect in the analysis of the Leonardo genius, the present work sheds a new light on his intuitions about some fundamental physics concepts as well as about the conceptual model that, several centuries later, will be formalized in the modern linear response theory.
