Ettore Majorana et la Philosophie

This article seeks to “take on” Ettore Majorana by establishing his “philosophical profile.” Doing so, one not only finds that the question of “fiction” was central to his work, but one also discovers the important superationalist — and European — dimension of his elective affinities with Giovanni Gentile Junior. Indeed their work was part of a constructive and inductive mathematism (Gaston Bachelard, later Robert Blanché) that was in opposition to classical geometricism (Emile Meyerson), and spiritualist Pythagoreanism (Arthur Eddington).     

Giulio Preti ou le Tournant Pragmatique de la Philosophie

This article presents the essential characteristics of Giulio Preti's thought. It focuses on the primacy of pragmatic experience in order to historicize the formal principles of knowledge. The historicity of a priori in Preti's work acquires the form of a historicity of common sense, conceived as a historic vector of conceptual structures which shape culture. The integration of the classics of pragmatism into critical and transcendental European philosophies engenders a pragmatic turn in philosophy of great theoretical relevance.
