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.

Lucien Poincaré (1862-1920) was a French physicist, Inspector General of Public Instruction, and brother of the famous Henri Poincaré. He was particularly interested in science education and the popularization of scientific advances. This book, published in the prestigious "Bibliothèque de Philosophie scientifique" (Scientific Philosophy Library) directed by Paul Gaultier, offers an overview of recent developments in physics at the beginning of the 20th century, a pivotal period marked by the emergence of quantum physics and relativity. It is intended for a cultured audience seeking to understand the conceptual upheavals that were redefining the foundations of physics at the time.

Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his discovery of energy quanta, which marked the beginning of quantum physics. He is one of the founding fathers of this revolutionary branch of physics. This work, translated from German by J. Du Plessis de Grenédan, is probably part of an approach to popularizing and introducing the fundamental concepts of physics to a non-specialist audience.

First edition in french.
Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1953) was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923 for his work on the elementary charge of the electron (oil drop experiment) and the photoelectric effect. A professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Norman Bridge Physics Laboratory, he was a central figure in early 20th-century physics. This work, translated into the second American edition by Adolphe Lepape (Head of Physicochemical Research at the Institute of Hydrology and Climatology in Paris), presents his fundamental research on the electron, its charge, its mass, and its role in matter. It is a key work for understanding modern physics and emerging electronics.

First edition in french.
Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932) was a German chemist and philosopher, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1909 for his work on catalysis and the study of chemical equilibria and reaction rates. He was one of the major figures in physical chemistry and a fervent defender of energism, a theory that reduced all phenomena to energy transformations. As a professor at the University of Leipzig, he exerted considerable influence. This work, "Outline of a Philosophy of Science," translated from German by M. Dorolle (Associate Professor of Philosophy), demonstrates his interest in the epistemological foundations of science. In it, he sets out his vision of science, its method, and its philosophical scope, marking an important current of thought at the beginning of the 20th century, a period of profound scientific and philosophical upheaval.
