They also provide an intellectual and philosophical context for his contributions to modern science. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers/faculty. (R. L. Pour, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2015) The text under review is a three-part collection of papers. These papers clearly illustrate the breadth and depth of Poincare's intellectual activities. ... each of the papers offers a number of interesting and speculative considerations regarding Poincare's thought. ... the book is well worth consulting for anyone interested in some aspects of the latest research and analysis of the thought of Henri Poincare.
