Abstract

In this paper, I sketch a fictionalist interpretation of Whitehead’s metatheory of metaphysics from Process and Reality. I hold that he engages in a program of foundational research in philosophical cosmology and I interpret his metatheoretical remarks accordingly, in the framework of scientific structuralism.

Dans cet article, j’esquisse une interprétation fictionnaliste de la métathéorie de la métaphysique de Whitehead dans Procès et réalité. Je soutiens que Whitehead s’engage, dans Procès et réalité, dans un programme de recherche fondationnelle en cosmologie et j’interprète ses remarques métathéoriques en conséquence, dans le cadre conceptuel du structuralisme scientifique.
