Arnold Reymond

Arnold Reymond (1874–1958) was a Swiss philosopher.

Reymond received a doctorate from the University of Geneva in 1908; his thesis on the history of ideas of the infinite, Logique et mathématiques, was reviewed by Bertrand Russell in Mind.[1] Reymond taught at the University of Neuchâtel from 1912 to 1925, where he taught and influenced Jean Piaget.[2] In 1925 he took up a chair at the University of Lausanne.[3]
