Weyl’s Philosophy of Physics: From Apriorism to Holism (1918-1927)

Abstract: Dans cet article, j'entends décrire comment évolue la philosophie de la physique de Weyl au cours de la période 1918-1927. Je rappellerai en particulier qu'il développe différentes formes d'« apriorisme » entre 1918 et 1923 : un apriorisme « spéculatif » avec sa théorie unifiée des champs (1918)(1919)(1920)(1921), puis une conception des connaissances a priori largement inspirée de la Wesensanalyse de Husserl dans ses travaux sur le problème de l'espace (1921)(1922)(1923). Je montrerai par ailleurs que le holi… Show more

“…: : : It would not be possible, without radical rebuilding, to bring the content of this monograph into harmony with my current beliefs. (Weyl 1918, 2-3) such as the "agens theory" of matter, were influenced by his reading of Fichte and Husserl (Sieroka 2007), and Christophe Eckes points out that there exists a relation between Weyl's conception of apriorism and holism and the philosophical views of Husserl and Cassirer (Eckes 2018). Weyl's ambivalence in regards to the philosophy of physics is an intriguing topic that goes beyond the scope of the current paper, but hopefully will be pursued in further research.…”

“…Whereas in Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science, as well as in the late period of his life, Weyl was more explicit in drawing the main tenets of his reflections on science and philosophy of science, in Raum-Zeit-Materie we have to consider bits of the texts in order to reconstruct his views. Since Raum-Zeit-Materie is a book on his interpretation of relativity, we find in it traces of Weyl's view of scientific theories and his take on holism that will become more explicit from 1927 onward (see [9]). However, this position is already present in 1918 and 1920.…”

“…Through symbolic construction (including the subjective within it), as the result of a "tower" or sequence of theories. 9 The two views are not in contrast, only dogmatism counts them as opposite. This assumption is fundamental in order to understand the connotation of holism that Weyl suggests:…”
