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.
William James (1842-1910) was an influential American philosopher and psychologist, co-founder of pragmatism. A member of the Institut de France and a professor at Harvard, he is considered one of the most important thinkers of the 19th century. "Pragmatism" is one of his most famous works, synthesizing his lectures given in 1906-1907. In it, he develops the idea that the truth of an idea must be judged by its practical consequences and utility. This French edition, translated by E. Le Brun and enriched with an introduction by Henri Bergson (1859-1941), a Nobel Prize-winning French philosopher and member of the Institut, is particularly notable. Bergson's presence underscores the importance and resonance of James's pragmatism in the French philosophical context of the early 20th century.

Father Angelo Secchi (1818-1877) was an Italian Jesuit, director of the Rome Observatory, and a renowned astronomer and physicist, corresponding member of the Institute of France. His work L'Unité des forces physiques (The Unity of Physical Forces) is an essay on natural philosophy that explores the concept of unity and interconnectedness of the various forces known in physics at his time. Secchi, a pioneer in stellar spectroscopy, sought to establish a unified vision of the physical world, a central theme in 19th-century science. This second, revised and considerably augmented edition, published based on Dr. Deleschamps' Italian translation, demonstrates the interest in his ideas in France.
