«La Formation De L'Esprit Scientifique» is the philosophical essay by Gaston Bachelard, published by European Schoolbooks in paperback, in French.
Bachelard studies the epistemological obstacles that hinder scientific knowledge: prior opinions, images and habits of thought that distort the perception of problems. He argues that knowledge is built by overcoming these evidences through an epistemological rupture, and conceives the work as a contribution to the psychoanalysis of objective knowledge.
The full title is 'La formation de l'esprit scientifique: contribution à une psychanalyse de la connaissance objective'. Work originally published in 1938.
For philosophy students and readers interested in epistemology and the history of science.
Gaston Louis Pierre Bachelard was a French philosopher. He made contributions in the fields of poetics and the philosophy of science. To the latter, he introduced the concepts of epistemological obstacle and epistemological break. He influenced many subsequent French philosophers, among them Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Dominique Lecourt and Jacques Derrida, as well as the sociologists Pierre Bourdieu and Bruno Latour.
