Edouard Le Roy
1870‐1954
French mathematician and philosopher. After serving as professor of mathematics at the Lycée, he became professor of philosophy at the Collège de France in 1921, succeeding Bergson. Under the influence of Bergson, he engaged in nominalist considerations of scientific knowledge. He took Poincaré's conventionalism to the extreme, and emphasized the arbitrary nature of scientific theories, arguing that even scientific facts are expedient. He also criticized traditional theology regarding religious dogma, arguing that religious truth is an object of faith and cannot be grasped by philosophical reasoning. His works include The Logic of Invention (1905), Dogma and Critique (1907), and Intuitive Thinking (1929-30), among others.
