Emile Meyerson’s epistemology aims at explaining the spontaneous physicists’ realism in anthropological terms. Consequently, the philosopher uses the resources of the newly born human sciences. Yet, we argue that such a philosophy of sciences would gain at considering other aspects of social and psychological experience. Eugène Minkowski, Arnaud Dandieu et Jacques Lacan – all indebted with Meyerson’s work – enable us to perceive an unseen dimension of the epistemological principle of identity: for the identification of objects, so precisely described by Meyerson, is always complicated by the identification of the subject of science with other subjects inside a peculiar culture.
