Anne-Françoise Schmid, philosopher and epistemologist among scientists and artists.
Specialist of philosophy of mathematics, on Poincaré as initiator of generic space in sciences
(1997, 2001), editor of Russell and Couturat (Paris, Kimé, 2001, 2 vol., 735 pages). She has
clarified the general assumptions of epistemology in a manner to avoid the exclusion of
contemporary methods under the effect of old paradigms. Similarly, in philosophy, she
constructs a generic space for combining concepts of various philosophies, creating a new
style with philosophies, not with just one. The conditions of this work are 1) The democracy
of disciplines and philosophies; 2) The decision and the practice of "collective intimacy"; 3)
the admission of a criterion of rigor independent of the disciplines, which she calls "criterion
of Poincaré".
She has taught at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, at the University of Geneva,
at the University of Paris-Ouest Nanterre, at the National Institute of Applied Sciences of
Lyon. She collaborated with the National Institute of Agronomic Research (Jouy-en-Josas
site). She is now associate researcher at the Chair of Theory and Methods of Innovative
Design, MinesParistech, as well as in the Poincaré Archives (University of Lorraine, UMR
CNRS 7117).
