Philosophia Scientiæ (Jun 2014)
Conventionnalisme critique et philosophie du comme si
Abstract
In this section one finds a translation by Christophe Bouriau of an article by Walter Scholz, “Kristischer Konventionalismus und Philosophie des Als Ob”, [Scholz 1924-1925]. Mobilizing analyses by Henri Poincaré, Hans Vaihinger and Hugo Dingler, this essay distinguishes between fiction, hypothesis, and convention.
