Gaston Bachelard: a Philosophy of the Surreal
Zbigniew Kotowicz
The first English-language analysis of this highly influential French philosopher’s work on epistemology, poetic imagination and temporalityGaston Bachelard (1884 1962) was a seminal figure in contemporary French philosophy. Together with Michel Foucault, Georges Canguilhem and Jean Cavailles, he shaped the ‘French epistemological’ school of philosophy of science. In France, Bachelard is a towering presence; in the English-speaking world, he is little known.

And he explores an old philosophical tradition that Bachelard’s thought opens up
