This volume presents a selection of papers from the Poincaré
Project of the Center for the Philosophy of Science, University of
Lisbon, bringing together an international group of scholars with
new assessments of Henri Poincaré's philosophy of science—both
its historical impact on the foundations of science and
mathematics, and its relevance to contemporary philosophical
inquiry. The work of Poincaré (1854-1912) extends over many fields
within mathematics and mathematical physics. But his scientific
work was inseparable from his groundbreaking philosophical
reflections, and the scientific ferment in which he participated
was inseparable from the philosophical controversies in which he
played a pre-eminent part. The subsequent history of the
mathematical sciences was profoundly influenced by Poincaré’s
philosophical analyses of the relations between and among
mathematics, logic, and physics, and, more generally, the relations
between formal structures and the world of experience. The papers
in this collection illuminate Poincaré’s place within his own
historical context as well as the implications of his work for
ours.
