Eddington philosophe : la nature et la portée de la science physique d'après Arthur S. Eddington / Eddington as a Philosopher : the Nature and the scope of Physical Science according to Arthur S. Eddington

Laguens, Florian 24 October 2018 (has links)
Unanimement considéré comme l’astronome le plus influent de l’entre-deux guerres, Arthur S. Eddington (1882-1944) a aussi investi le champ philosophique avec deux ouvrages majeurs, The Nature of the Physical World (1928) et The Philosophy of Physical Science (1939), mais également d’innombrables remarques au long de son œuvre considérable. Cette étude propose, à partir de l’ensemble des écrits d’Eddington, un portrait de sa philosophie. Envisagée dans son développement progressif d’abord, mettant tour à tour l’accent sur la synthèse, le symbole et la structure, dans ses interactions ensuite, dans ses racines philosophiques enfin. Se déploie peu à peu une conception originale de la nature et de la portée de la science physique, parfois déroutante mais non sans cohérence, à condition de la reconduire à ses intuitions originaires. / Arthur S. Eddington (1882-1944) certainly was the world’s most famous astronomer during the interwar period. He also plunged into philosophy and published a couple of major books,The Nature of the Physical World (1928) et The Philosophy of Physical Science (1939), as well as numerous remarks scattered along his works. Grounding its claims on the entirety of his writings, this study intends to sketch Eddington’s own philosophy. Its progressive development is firstly addressed, highlighting three essential themes, i. e. synthesis, symboland structure. Then are explored its interactions with both science and religion, and its rootsin terms of philosophical authors. An original conception of the nature and the scope of physical science slowly merges, sometimes upsetting but never without some kind of unity,provided its originating intuitions are finally discovered.
