Helmholtz, critique de la géométrie kantienne
Revue de Métaphysique Et de Morale (forthcoming)
| Abstract | Cet article a pour but de présenter la première traduction française de deux textes de Helmholtz de 1878. À la lumière du développement des géométries non euclidiennes, il y critique la conception kantienne de l'espace. Par là même, il expose une redéfinition purement empiriste de la construction des déterminations spatiales qui, sous le nom de « géométrie physique » , joua un rôle important chez Poincaré (qui la révise) et chez Einstein. This article aims to present the first french translation of two Helmholtz's texts from 1878. In these texts, Helmholtz uses the recently developed non euclidean geometries to critique Kant's conception of space. It is the occasion for him to redefine spatial determinations as purely empirical. This « physical geometry » greatly influenced Poincaré (who did not totally agree with him) and Einstein. | |||||||||
