Alexandre Koyré

About the author

Born in Taganrog in 1892, Alexandre Koyré was a French philosopher of Russian origin whose work centred on the history and philosophy of science. He died in Paris in 1964, leaving behind a body of scholarship that shaped how later thinkers understood the development of scientific thought. Working at the intersection of philosophy and intellectual history, Koyré brought a rigorous continental sensibility to questions about how scientific ideas emerge and transform across eras.
