Henri Poincare (1854-1912) was one of the greatest mathematicians of his time. He founded the field of topology and made important contributions to theoretical physics, including the discovery of special relativity. This volume reconstructs the philosophical thought of Poincare and presents it as a unified system, reconciling apparent conflicts and examining its potential shortcomings with a critical eye.
