Greek text and translation by Kayas.
The distinctive feature of this free French translation is its replacement of Euclid's entirely verbal language with the symbolism of our time. The translator and editors sought to demonstrate the enduring relevance of Euclidean geometry by highlighting its adaptability to all forms of teaching.

Essai sur la connaissance approchée.

First edition.
Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962), agrégé in philosophy and doctor of letters, was one of the greatest French philosophers of the 20th century, specializing in epistemology and the history of science. His Essai sur la connaissance approchée (Essay on Approximated Knowledge) is one of his first major works, in which he develops the notion that scientific knowledge is never absolute, but always relative and "approximated." He examines concepts from contemporary science (relativity, quantum mechanics) and defends a philosophy of the "no" that shows how new knowledge is built by breaking with previous knowledge. This book is a landmark of French epistemology.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, and scientist, considered the father of empiricism and the modern scientific method. His work profoundly influenced the development of Western science by advocating observation, experimentation, and induction. This edition of Bacon's Works, with a revised translation and an introduction by M. F. Riaux (Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Rennes), is available in English.

First edition.
Paul Tannery (1843-1904) was a French mathematician, philosopher, and historian of science, particularly recognized for his work on the history of Greek science. His book Pour l'histoire de la science hellène. De Thalès à Empédocle (For the History of Hellenic Science. From Thales to Empedocles) is a fundamental study of Presocratic philosophy and the emergence of scientific thought in ancient Greece. Tannery explores the origins of mathematical and physical concepts among the early Greek thinkers, offering a valuable perspective on the genesis of Western science. This book is a reference for historians of science and ancient philosophy.

Marcel Brillouin (1854-1948) was a French physicist and mathematician, known for his work on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. This jubilee volume was presented to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday, bringing together original papers written by his colleagues and former students. Such a collection attests to the esteem of the scientific community and the influence of a researcher. It is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the cutting-edge research of the time in the fields where Brillouin made important contributions.

First edition.

Marcel Prévost (1862-1941), a member of the Académie Française, was a writer whose work extended far beyond literature. As part of the "Nos Grandes Écoles" (Our Grandes Écoles) collection, his work on the École Polytechnique provides an insight into this prestigious institution. These books aimed to present to the general public the functioning, traditions, and importance of France's grandes écoles, which train the country's elites. Prévost's work on Polytechnique, likely published in the first half of the 20th century, is a testament to the central place of this school in French society and its role in training engineers and scientists.

80 €

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.

Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) was a French mathematician, physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science, often described as the last universal scientist. A member of the Institut de France, his contributions were fundamental in many fields: function theory, differential equations, topology, special relativity theory (which he developed independently of Einstein), and celestial mechanics. "Science and Hypothesis," first published in 1902, is one of his major works on the philosophy of science. In it, he explores the nature of the fundamental principles of science, the role of mathematics, and the place of hypotheses. This book is a classic of epistemology and remains highly relevant for understanding the foundations of modern scientific thought.

First edition.
P. Guttemin was a professor of natural history at the Royal College of Angers, a former regent of mathematics and physics in various colleges. His work Historiettes sur la physique, ou nouveau cours de physique expérimentale (Anecdotes on Physics, or New Course in Experimental Physics) is a pedagogical textbook that uses "historiettes" (short stories or anecdotes) to teach physics in a more engaging way. This format aimed to make experimental physics accessible and interesting for students, as indicated by the mention "Work suitable for awarding as prizes in all educational institutions" and "Pretty edition adorned with plates, for the understanding of the text." It reflects a pedagogical approach concerned with illustrating scientific principles through concrete examples.
