Reseña del editor
Henri Poincar was, by general agreement, the most eminent scientific man of his generation more eminent, one is tempted to think, than any man of science now living. From the mere variety of the subjects which he illuminated, there is certainly no one who can appreciate critically the whole of his work. Some conception of his amazing comprehensiveness may be derived from the obituary number of the Revue de Mitaphysique et de Morale (S eptember 1913), where, in the course of 130 pages, four eminent men a philosopher, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a physicist tell in outline the contributions which he made to their several subjects. In all we find the same characteristics swiftness, comprehensiveness, unexampled lucidity, and the perception of recondite but fertile analogies. Poincare sphilosophical writings, of which the present volume is a good example, are not those of a professional philosopher: they are the untrammelled reflections of a broad and cultivated mind upon the procedure and the postulates of scientific discovery.
