Synposis of  this seminar : 

La prochaine séance du groupe de travail  Mathématiques et Philosophie 19e et 20e siècles aura lieu le 28 mars de 10h à 13h, en salle Rothko (412B).
Cette séance s’insère dans le cadre d’un duo de discussions sur l’utilisation des catégories de concept et d’objet en philosophie et en histoire des mathématique  : 
Quel statut donner aux notions que manipule le mathématicien, telles que “pi”, “le corps des réels”, “espace”, “ensemble” ? Parmi les outils conceptuels élémentaires de toute théorie de la connaissance, deux se détachent traditionnellement concernant les mathématiques : les concepts et les objets. Cependant, s’ouvrent alors deux domaines épistémologiques distincts, et deux réseaux de difficultés : à la question de l’articulation de la démonstration et de la construction des concepts répond par exemple celle du statut ontologique des objets mathématiques. À moins que ces deux types d’entités ne doivent être articulées au sein d’un même champ mathématique. Les deux prochaines séances du groupe de travail seront donc l’occasion d’essayer de clarifier cette distinction. 

Cette première séance sera une séance à trois voix, où nous écouterons Sylvain Cabanacq, Baptiste Mélès et Pascal Bertin, qui, pour ouvrir ce chantier, nous proposent de revenir tout d’abord sur certains aspects de l’œuvre de Jean Cavaillès, qui semble avoir eu précisément pour horizon cette tension entre concepts et objets. Le caractère programmatique et inachevée de cette œuvre philosophique nous conduira à suivre trois pistes de lecture, trois dialogues ouverts par Cavaillès :
– avec la logique transcendantale de Husserl, dernier interlocuteur du Sur la logique (Sylvain Cabanacq)
– avec la dialectique et l’expérience de Hegel (Baptiste Mélès)
– avec le devenir et la nécessité de Spinoza (Pascal Bertin).
 
Bibliographie indicative:
– Jean Cavaillès, Sur la logique et la théorie de la science, Vrin, Paris, 1997.
– Jean Cavaillès, Oeuvres complètes de philosophie des sciences, Hermann, Paris, 1994, et plus particulièrement “La pensée mathématique, avec A. Lautman”.
Également le numéro 40.1 (1987) de la Revue d’histoire des sciences, en particulier les articles de G. Heinzmann et H. Benis-Sinaceur (disponibles sur persee.fr) et la correspondance de Cavaillès et Lautman.

Séminaire d’Histoire des Mathématiques de l’IHP

11, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 5^e
14 h à 18 h 30  l’amphi Darboux

Fondé en 1948, le séminaire d’histoire des mathématiques de l’IHP est un lieu d’échange entre historiens des Mathématiques et participe également à  maintenir et développer les liens entre  mathématiciens et historiens.

Le séminaire organise actuellement cinq séances dans l’année. Ces séances visent à faire le point de recherches actuelles sur un thème qui peut constituer la présentation du travail d’un groupe de recherche ou être spécialement construit pour le séminaire. Elles se composent non seulement de conférences mais aussi de tables rondes et discussions abordant des questions méthodologiques et historiographiques.

2012 : que dire sur Poincaré ?
(séance préparée par Philippe Nabonnand et Laurent Rollet)

14 h -16h : – Scott Walter (Archives Poincaré, Université de Lorraine),  « La découverte du groupe de Lorentz par Poincaré et ses conséquences en physique théorique »

Jean Claude Sikorav (UMPA – ENS Lyon), « Poincaré et la méthode de continuité »

16 h –16 h 30 : Pause café

16 h 30 – 18 h 30 : – Laurent Rollet (Archives Poincaré, Université de Lorraine), « Une jeunesse nancéienne : les réseaux de sociabilité d’Henri Poincaré (1854-1878) »
