Benjamin Peirce
Benjamin Peirce, né le 4 avril 1809 et mort le 6 octobre 1880, est un logicien et mathématicien américain. Il fut professeur de mathématiques et physique à Harvard. Père du philosophe qui a fondé le pragmatisme (Charles Sanders Peirce), il peut être considéré comme le premier mathématicien américain ayant acquis une réputation véritablement internationale. Il approuvait l'esclavage dans la mesure où il permettait à une élite de s'adonner aux sciences en se dégageant des contraintes du travail manuel. En savoir plus sur Wikipédia
