Více o knize

The narrative centers on Henri Poincaré's influential philosophical works, highlighting his major publications and the posthumous efforts to compile a fifth volume, "L'Opportunisme scientifique." Despite the project being well-supported by notable figures, it ultimately remained unpublished due to objections from Poincaré's heirs. This book aims to explore this significant episode, shedding light on Poincaré's editorial practices and the lasting impact of his philosophical ideas, as revealed through his correspondence stored in the Poincaré Archives.
