THINKING GEOMETRY: A MATTER OF PHILOSOPHY. THE CASE OF HELMHOLTZ AND POINCARÉ
Description
The controversy between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry arose new philosophical and scientific insights which were relevant to the later development of natural science. Here we want to consider Poincaré and Helmholtz’s positions as two of the most important and original ones who contributed to the subsequent development of the epistemology of natural sciences. Based in these conceptions, we will show that the role of philosophy is still important for some aspects of science
