[Historical causality and relative contemporaneity Einsteinian relativity in the historical sciences]. / Causalité Historique et Contemporanéité Relative: De la Relativité Einsteinienne aux Sciences Historiques.

The construction of historical frame of reference based on the distinction between and articulation of phenomenological and chronological times. As it relativises the notion of simultaneity and inverts its relation to causality, the special theory of relativity can induce analogous modes of reflection on the themes of "contemporaneity" in the history of art (Panofsky) and in epistemology (Bachelard). This "relativist" method, often misunderstood, sheds light on both historical and presentist methods.

[Ettore Majoran's transversal epistemology]. / L'épistémologie Transversale D'ettore Majorana Die Fachübergreifende Epistemologie von Ettore Majorana L'epistemologia Trasversale di Ettore Majorana.

« Il valore delle leggi statistiche nella fisica e nelle scienze sociali ¼ is Ettore Majorana's only work on science. It offers a critique of classical determinism, establishing an analogy between the laws of quantum mechanics and social science and arguing that both are intrinsically linked to probability. This article first studies this argument from the standpoing of metaphysics, physics, and sociology, and then assesses the significance of this transversal epistemology.
