Georg Cantor (Saint-Petersbourg, 1845 – Halle, 1918) est un mathematicien allemand de genie qui a revolutionne sa discipline. Pere de la theorie des ensembles, il a introduit la notion de nombre infini (1873), faisant ainsi de la mathematique un “paradis”. Ce ne fut pas sans difficultes: theoriques, philosophiques et personnelles. C’est cet itineraire qu’on retrace ici, en contant la vie tragique d’un veritable createur, qui mourut en clinique psychiatrique, tout en expliquant le plus clairement possible les concepts essentiels qu’il a degages en mathematique. Son oeuvre se situe au carrefour d’une renovation complete de cette science, entre Bolzano et Weierstrass, Hilbert et Gsdel, dans une tradition qui parcourt tout l’heritage de la philosophie occidentale, de Platon et Aristote a Spinoza et Leibniz.
