Having examined previous volumes of the Boston Studies series devoted to different countries, and having discussed the best way to present contemporary research in France, we have arrived at a careful selection of 15 participants, including the organizers. Our aim is to bring together philosophers and practicing scientist from the major institutions of the country, both universities and research centers.
The areas of research represented here cover a wide spectrum of sciences, from mathematics and physics to the life sciences, as well as linguistics and economics. This selection is a showcase of French philosophy of science, illustrating the different methods employed: logico-linguistic analysis, rational reconstruction and historical inquiry. These participants have the ability to relate their research both to the French tradition and current discussions on the international scene. Also included is a substantial historical introduction, explaining the development of philosophy of science in France, the various schools of thought and methods as well as the major concepts and their significance.

Dix penseurs, parmi lesquels Boutroux, Poincaré, Duhem et Brunschvicg, tentent de nouer un dialogue entre philosophie et science. Les multiples découvertes, des géométries non euclidiennes aux atomes, ont bouleversé les conceptions traditionnelles. Ils passent au crible la démarche scientifique et débattent de la valeur des théories. Se cristallise alors un nouveau discours qu’on appellera désormais épistémologie. Il ne s’agit ni d’un positivisme rigoureux ni d’un scientisme réducteur : l’épistémologie française qui s’inscrit au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles ne rejette pas la métaphysique. Au contraire, elle accorde à la philosophie toute sa dimension sans renier la science. Après un siècle de tentatives de dépassement, d’élimination de la pensée spéculative, successivement démenties, ces grands textes nous rappellent qu’une autre voie est possible : saisir l’unité des choses et leur signification pour l’homme.
