- French philosopher, studied at the Polytechnic School and High School Mines de Paris. He taught at the University of Caen from 1879 to 1881, was a lecturer at the University of Paris from 1881 to 1885, when he was appointed professor of physics and mechanics after mathematical physics (1886) and celestial mechanics (1896)
One the most celebrated supporters of so-called convention, a thesis that seeks to demonstrate scientific laws only provide partial or subjective information about the course of events and prove that, to overcome this limitation, we must turn to other activities of the human spirit. Within
stand epistemological research on space observations and explanations mechanical phenomena. The first issue, since the discovery of geometries corresponding to the real nature of space, for him, the geometric axioms are neither synthetic a priori judgments nor experimental facts, so that the geometry is not a science necessary nor physics, but an idealization of experiencia.Para Poncaré, the main purpose of science is to inform us about the relationships between objects, which crystallizes in the physical laws
