Resumen

• This volume is composed of series of lectures delivered at the CFCUL by some of the leading experts on Poincaré's philosophy of mathematics. The outcome is strikingly different from the standard interpretation portrayed and propagated for decades mainly by some scholars of analytic philosophy that negatively characterized Poincaré's views. Instead of putting the spotlight on his alleged psychological tendency and his inability to appreciate modern logic due to his ignorance of the subject matter, the contributors aim rather to understand some major insights involved in Poincaré's brilliant style of arguing and to provide a coherent view of his philosophy of mathematics and that of science in general.
