More about the book

Exploring the nature of time, Gaston Bachelard responds to Henri Bergson's theories by presenting a view of experienced time as fractured and interrupted. This work lays the foundation for Bachelard's innovative philosophy of science, emphasizing the importance of human context and the interplay between rationality and the irrational. Through this lens, he challenges conventional perceptions of the physical world and material events, offering a profound rethinking of scientific philosophy.
