Faced with a dense, varied and important body of work (ten volumes of research articles, five philosophical volumes, twenty-four course volumes), our choice was to cut out Henri Poincaré’s intellectual portrait as a hermeneutic instrument along disciplinary lines. This is what we have partially done. Poincaré's scientific reputation was first built in pure mathematics, through his discovery of Fuchsian functions, his work on divergent series and the restricted three-body problem, and his contributions to algebraic topology, which made him the first mathematician of his time, recognized as such by his peers. Poincaré based his approach on intuition rather than logical reasoning. Given this “vulnerability”, our hermeneutic exercise is constructed by the complementarity of two methods: the Barabás network science and the scientific conclusions of Jung-Pauli on synchronicity. Also, in this study I applied my theories, developed and refined over several decades, regarding receptology and related sub-fields. Receptology is a personal lexical and conceptual creation, formed from the Latin recipiō and the Greek word/suffix logos .Therefore, etymologically speaking, receptology is the science of reception in general, from aesthetics to economics, from neuroscience to genomics, from theory to practice etc. Geo-receptology is also a personal lexical and conceptual creation, formed from the Greek prefix γη or γαια, which means earth. Like geopolitics but without the political and strategic component, geo-receptology studies the type and degree of dissemination of ideas in certain geo-socio-cultural spaces at regional or global level.
