Julien Bernard is currently assistant professor at Aix-Marseille University. His laboratory is the Centre Gilles Gaston Granger, UMR 7304. Before this, he was postdoctorate researcher at Zukunftskolleg (University of Constance), and also worked for the ANR Gödel on Kurt Gödel’s unpublished papers. His research interest is primarily in philosophy of physics, mathematics and logic, focussing on the relationships between the great traditional philosophical systems (Leibnizian metaphysics, neo-Kantianism, Husserlian phenomenology) and the scientific revolutions of the beginning of the twentieth century. He has published two monographs – L’idéalisme dans l’infinitésimal and L’Analyse mathématique du problème de l’espace (French-German commented edition of Weyl’s text) – and several specialized articles on Hermann Weyl, on the problem of space, on Gödel’s Leibnizian interpretation of quantum mechanics, and on the foundations of mathematics. He serves as reviewerfor the journals Lato Sensu, Journal of Symbolic Logic, and for the GDR 3719 “Philosophie des mathématiques”. He has also been awarded by the “Prix Paul Ricoeur 2013” of University Paris-Nanterre, and was winner of several important funding programs for his Art-Philosophy-Science project “Biomorphism” (notably: the “Interdisciplinarite 2016” AMIDEX funding program at Aix-Marseille and the funding program of the Foundation Daniel and Nina Carasso, Paris). Carlos Lobo is currently member of the Collège international de philosophie and of the Center of Philosophy of Sciences (University of Lisbon). For over 30 years, while preparing students to the Ecole Normal Supérieure competitive exam, he pursued his research in phenomenology and epistemology. After a first monograph on the methodology of transcendental phenomenology (Le phénoménologue et ses exemples, in 2000), he published several contributions on phenomenological issues such as intersubjectivity, temporality, individuation, and axiology, showing their epistemological import for the understanding and critical clarification of formal logic, probability theory, and physics. Those contributions are particularly illustrated by a series of contributions such as “Self-variation and self-modification” in The Phenomenology of Embodied Subjectivity, Springer, 2013, 263–283, “Husserl’s Reform of Logic. An introduction” in New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy, 2017; “Some Reasons to reopen the question of foundations of probability theory following the Rota way” in The Philosophers and Mathematicians, ed. H. Tahiri, Springer, 2018; “Le maniérisme épistémologique de Gilles Châtelet. Relativité et exploration de l’a priori esthétique chez Châtelet, Weyl et Husserl”, Revue de Synthèse, Brill, n° 137, 2018. As a translator (from German, English, and Spanish), Lobo has published Husserl’s Les leçons sur l’éthique et la théoriede la valeur, PUF, 1999, and more recently Weyl’s Philosophie des mathématiques et des sciences de la nature, Métis Presses, Geneva, 2017.
