Gaston Bachelard

20th century

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) was a French philosopher of science and literary theorist. Initially trained in the sciences, he became a professor of philosophy at the Sorbonne, developing a dual-track career that examined both the rational epistemology of science and the imaginative phenomenology of poetic imagery. His work bridges the rigorous discontinuity of scientific thought with the reverie of poetic creation.
