Alexandre Koyré

    August 29, 1892 – April 28, 1964

    Alexandre Koyré was a philosopher and historian of science who profoundly shaped the study of scientific thought. He played a pivotal role in advancing the history of science in France and fostering its growth in the United States after World War II. His foundational research, particularly in his early Galilean studies, established him as a leading figure in understanding twentieth-century scientific ideas. Koyré became a central proponent of French historical epistemology, a discipline dedicated to examining the entirety of scientific thought.
