Compte-rendu de lecture DEA Histoire et philosophie des sciences Paris I Sorbonne UFR 10 Cours de Physique Contemporaine et Philosophie Transcendantale par Michel Bitbol Bas C. VAN FRAASSEN LOIS ET SYMETRIES Paris : Vrin – Par Nazim Fatès FatesNazim@aol.com Mars 2000 Introduction Avec Lois et Symétries , Bas Van Fraassen, logicien et philosophe des sciences, livre au public ce qu’il considère comme la première partie d’une réflexion centrée sur la mécanique quantique. Cette réflexion, qui se poursuit dans Quantum Mechanics : An empiricist view présente une théorie de la connaissance qu’il nomme ‘empirisme constructif’, qui reprend les idées développées dans son premier livre phare : The Scientific Image . Dans ces trois ouvrages, Van Fraassen prend ouvertement position contre le courant dominant des années 1970 : le positivisme logique, alors qualifié de « point de vue orthodoxe » et se démarque des autres courants plus récents tels que le réalisme ou le relativisme. Lois et symétries est l’occasion pour l’auteur de présenter son point de vue en se basant sur l’idée que le concept de symétrie peut remplacer celui de ‘loi de la nature’ dans la théorie de la connaissance. Voilà un pari qui, à première vue semble tenir de la gageure car comme le rappelle Van Fraassen lui-même dans sa préface: « L’idée qu’il existe des lois e la nature est loin d’être la propriété exclusive des philosophes. La pensée courante tient souvent pour un truisme l’affirmation que cette idée est précisément ce qui permet de comprendre la nature de la science ».

Worksheet: Against Scientific Realism Inspirational Thought for the Day: "[I]ncest is not immoral, for touching your mother's big toe with your little finger is not immoral, and all the rest differs only by degree." Sextus Empiricus, as reported by Bas van Fraassen The Big Issues: Do scientific theories provide a true account of the world? If we accept scientific theories as true, must we believe that the entities they postulate really exist? In Particular: Does acceptance of a scientific theory entail commitment to the truth of its theoretical claims? What is "scientific realism," and what are the chief arguments against it? Can the success of science be explained without being realists about theories and the entities they postulate? Does the success of our theories count as evidence for realism? Reading: "Arguments Concerning Scientific Realism," by Bas C. van Fraassen (pp. 1064-1087). Key Concepts: scientific realism; constructive empiricism; empirical adequacy; observable-unobservable distinction; inference to the best explanation; Directions: Answer any three of the following questions

Introduction. In front of me on the table sits a rectangular, chromium-plated metal frame. Suspended on very thin nylon threads hang 6 identical stainless steel balls, nicely in a row. I lift the leftmost ball 2 centimeters, and let it go. The ball falls back in place, hits its neighbor, and seemingly instantaneously the ball on the right end of the chain jumps up. The four balls in the middle seem not to have moved at all. The rightmost ball falls back, and for the next five minutes the first and the last ball repeat their alternating collisions with a periodic clicking sound. Someone asks: ‘why does the last ball gets almost to the same height as the first ball?” Many answers come into my mind:
