‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "The Cheminement de la pensée (1931) is important because it developed Meyerson's philosophy of mathematics. According to K. Bryson, Meyerson finds in mathematics the ideal instrument for the conversion of reason and reality in plausible propositions... It enables science to retain identities while accounting for differences . Meyerson's philosophy of mathematics is oriented toward representation, the element coming from perception, and thus makes formalism secondary. Meyerson noted that although relativity is a theory of reality, it is also the triumph of the mathematicization of physics over mechanism as the form of modern science". (DSB Suppl. p. 424)**3675/K5‎
