First edition.
This collective work is the proceedings of the Fourth International Synthesis Week, organized by the "Fondation pour la Science" and the "Centre International de Synthèse" in 1935. It brings together presentations and discussions by major figures in physics and philosophy of the time, including Abel Rey (professor at the Sorbonne), E. Bauer (deputy director of the Physics Laboratory at the Collège de France), Louis de Broglie (professor at the Sorbonne and Nobel laureate in physics), Charles Serrus (professor at Lycée Louis-le-Grand), and Léon Brunschvicg (professor at the Sorbonne). The theme, L'évolution de la physique et la philosophie (The Evolution of Physics and Philosophy), reflects the profound epistemological questions raised by the scientific revolutions of the early 20th century (relativity, quantum mechanics) and their philosophical implications. It is an essential document for the history of scientific and philosophical ideas during the interwar period.
