Abstract

This is a survey of Romanian scientific philosophy, focused on two important contributions: the theoretical programs and methodological models developed by several scientists working in the emergent sciences of complex, organized, and evolving domains; and the project of a “mathematical epistemology” (or “axiomatic philosophy”), proposed by a group of mathematicians from the University of Bucharest in the 1930s, starting from an analysis of the abstract structural construction of theories in mathematics and natural science.
