Abstract
[The first goal of this paper is to show the evolution of PoincaréPoincaré’s opinion on the mechanistic reductionmechanistic reduction of the principles of thermodynamicsthermodynamics, placing it in the context of the science of his time. The second is to present some of his work in 1890 on the foundations of statistical mechanicsstatistical mechanics. He became interested first in thermodynamics and its relation with mechanics, drawing on the work of HelmholtzHelmholtz on monocyclic systems. After a period of skepticism concerning the kinetic theory, he read some of MaxwellMaxwell’s memories and contributed to the foundations of statistical mechanics. I also show that Poincaré’s contributions to the foundations of statistical mechanics are closely linked to his work in celestial mechanicscelestial mechanics and its interest in probabilityprobability theory and its role in physics.]
