A New Philosophy Edouard Le Roy

A New Philosophy: Henri Bergson By Edouard Le Roy. Édouard Louis Emmanuel Julien Le Roy (June 18, 1870 in Paris - November 10, 1954 in Paris) was a French philosopher and mathematician. Le Roy especially interested himself to the relations between science and morality. Along with Henri Poincaré and Pierre Duhem, he supported a conventionalist thesis on the foundation of mathematics. Although a fervent Catholic, he extended this conventionalist theory to revealed truths, which did not, according to him, withdraw any of their strength.
