Jean-François Gautier

Jean-François Gautier (born 1950, Paris) is a French writer.

His book L'Univers existe-t-il? (Does the Universe exist?) points out the impossibility of creating a descriptive geometry of The Universe when there is no other frame (i.e., a frame or tableau beyond, or outside of, The Universe as so-posited), within which to describe it. How can the description of The Universe begin when one cannot get 'outside' The Universe as posited? If we posit The Universe, we presume ourselves within it. Problems occur here: with the idea that the descriptor of The Universe can in some way "step beyond" the model he/she has projected.
