Abstract

Physics, at the various stages of knowlege, presents itself as an objective description of the natural world, and makes use, for this purpose, of rational concepts, proposed as universal. However, these concepts are built by human thought in particular subjective and historical situations, and are submitted to transformation processes. Is it possible to conciliate these two points of views, the objective and the relative ones? And how to conceive such transforrnations, uncler the sign of intelligibility, of this science and of history as well?
