‎---- Nouvelle édition (REVUE et ENRICHIE de détails et de nouveaux documents) ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Sophie Germain wrote two philosophic works entitled Pensées diverses and Considérations générales sur l'état des sciences et des lettres which were published postheomously in the Oeuvres philosophiques. The first of these contains capsule summaries of scientific subjects, brief comments on the contributions of leading mathematicians and physicists throughout the ages, and personal opinions. The Etat des sciences et des lettres, which was praised by Auguste Comte, is an extremely scholarly development of the theme of the unity of thought, that is, the idea that there always has been and always will be no basic difference between the sciences and the humanities with respect to their motivation, their methodology, and their culture importance". (DSB V pp. 375/376) ---- Etude sur Sophie Germain - Considérations sur l'état des sciences - Pensées diverses - Correspondance**2341/K3-CAV.E5‎
