Couverture du Jerzy Giedymin: Science and Convention (PDF)

Science and Convention: Essays on Henri Poincare’s Philosophy of Science and The Conventionalist Tradition contains essays concerned with Henri Poincare’s philosophy of science, physics in particular, and with the conventionalist tradition in philosophy that he revived and reshaped, simultaneously with, but independently of, Pierre Duhem. Separating five essays as chapters, the book discusses the main ideas of the philosophy (Essays 1 and 5), traces at least some of its historical background (Essays 1, 2, and 3), and provides some of its developments (Essays 2 and 4).
