%X Pour Aristote, sous le rapport de sa composition en parties, le continu est divisible mais sous le rapport de ses limites (point, ligne, surface et profondeur), le continu est indivisible. Walter Burley, comme ses contemporains, a comment¨¦ la coexistence probl¨¦matique de la divisibilit¨¦ et de l¡¯indivisibilit¨¦ dans la structure du continu. Bien plus, aux prises avec sa c¨¦l¨¨bre pol¨¦mique contre son adversaire Guillaume d¡¯Ockham ¨¤ propos de l¡¯ontologie de la cat¨¦gorie de quantit¨¦, il admet une structure du continu originale qui semble contenir ¨¤ la fois des intervalles ou parties divisibles et des points ou indivisibles. For Aristote, concerning its composition in parts, the continuous is divisible but concerning its limits (point, line, surface and depth), the continuous is indivisible. Walter Burley, as his contemporaries, commented on the problematic coexistence of the divisibility and the indivisibility in the structure of the continuous. Much more, battling against his opponent Wilhelm of Ockham about the ontology of the category of quantity, he admits an original structure of continuous who seems to contain at the same time intervals or divisible parts and indivisible points.
