"Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) was not just one of the most inventive, versatile, and productive mathematicians of all time--he was also a leading physicist who almost won a Nobel Prize for physics and a prominent philosopher of science whose fresh and surprising essays are still in print a century later. The first in-depth and comprehensive look at his many accomplishments, Henri Poincaré explores all the fields that Poincaré touched, the debates sparked by his original investigations, and how his discoveries still contribute to society today. Math historian Jeremy Gray shows that Poincaré's influence was wide-ranging and permanent. His novel interpretation of non-Euclidean geometry challenged contemporary ideas about space, stirred heated discussion, and led to flourishing research. His work in topology began the modern study of the subject, recently highlighted by the successful resolution of the famous Poincaré conjecture. And Poincaré's reformulation of celestial mechanics and discovery of chaotic motion started the modern theory of dynamical systems. In physics, his insights on the Lorentz group preceded Einstein's, and he was the first to indicate that space and time might be fundamentally atomic. Poincaré the public intellectual did not shy away from scientific controversy, and he defended mathematics against the attacks of logicians such as Bertrand Russell, opposed the views of Catholic apologists, and served as an expert witness in probability for the notorious Dreyfus case that polarized France. Richly informed by letters and documents, Henri Poincaré demonstrates how one man's work revolutionized math, science, and the greater world"--

Die bisherige Forschung hat den anthropologischen Paradigmawechsel der europäischen Spätaufklärung (ca. 1750–1800) vorwiegend als einheitlichen Prozeß gedeutet und die Gegenstandsfelder jeweils nur sektoral abgehandelt. Der vorliegende Band geht einen anderen Weg. Er insistiert auf dem Zusammenhang von Konstruktions- und Gegenstandslogik in der Anthropologie und begreift ihn als Ausdifferenzierung im Spannungsfeld von physischem und sittlichem Menschen. Die Einzelstudien behandeln folgende Themen bzw. Interpretationsverfahren: Das Verhältnis von Soma und Pneuma; die Selbsterzeugung des Menschen im naturhistorischen Prozeß; Anthropologie und Zivilisationsgenese; Empirismus als anthropologische Erkenntnisform; Anthropologie und Utopie; fiktive Anthropologie als Erkenntnisverfahren; Philosophie, Wissenschaft und Mythos. Research on the subject to date has largely interpreted the paradigmatic shift in late-Enlightenment anthropology (approx. 1750-1800) as a unified process, and has discussed the various fields of study in isolation. The present volume takes a different course. It insists on the close connection between constructivist and subject-related logic in anthropology, and interprets it in terms of a process of increasing differentiation within the contest between the rival views of man as a physical and moral animal. The various articles discuss the following topics and/or interpretive procedures: the relationship between soma and pneuma; the self-generation of man in the process of natural history; anthropology and the genesis of civilization; empiricism as an anthropological form of epistemology; anthropology and utopia; fictional anthropology as an epistemological approach; philosophy, science, and myth.
