TL;DR: In this paper, Cournot et al. examine the theory of Bolzano and Cournot in the context of explication mathematique and show that Cournot elaboree par Cournot entre lordre logique et lordré rationnel, tout en se proposant d'en mettre en valeur la pertinence quant au debat sur l'explication mathematiques.
Abstract: RESUME — Les etudes les plus recentes sur le champ de l'« explication mathematique » ont mis en valeur la distinction entre demonstrations explicatives et demonstrations non explicatives Celles-la sont censees etre differentes de celles- ci en ce qu'elles montrent non seulement qu'un resultat est vrai mais aussi pourquoi il est vrai Cette opposition est au cœur de la philosophie des mathematiques de Bolzano et Cournot Le present essai examine la theorie de Bolzano sur Grund et Folge, ainsi que l'opposition elaboree par Cournot entre l'ordre logique et l'ordre rationnel, tout en se proposant d'en mettre en valeur la pertinence quant au debat sur l'explication mathematique La derniere partie de l'essai examine les faiblesses des theories de Bolzano et de Cournot dans le champ de l'explication mathematique

TL;DR: The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was introduced by Niels Bohr as discussed by the authors, who called his version of the revolution "complementarity" and spread quickly among physicists, most of whom accepted it without troubling to understand it, and among philosophers attracted by the subject.
Abstract: In September 1927, in observance of the centennial of Volta’s death and the scientific pretensions of the Fascist state, the world’s leading physicists gathered in Como, Italy. Among the speakers they heard was Niels Bohr, who said in his almost inaudible manner that the quantum mechanics built in the previous few years announced a revolution in human thought.1 He called his version of the revolution “complementarity.” Known now as the Copenhagen interpretation, it spread quickly among physicists, most of whom accepted it without troubling to understand it, and among philosophers attracted by the subject and by invigorating disputes between Bohr and Einstein about the foundations of physics. Excellent and comprehensive analyses of the technical points at issue have been given by historians and philosophers.2
