Description
Gaston Bachelard's On Poetic Imagination and Reverie explores the intersection of reason and experience, revealing how knowledge is shaped by the interplay between these two forces. This collection of excerpts from his major works, edited by Colette Gaudin, offers a unique insight into the poetics of imagination.
Bachelard's work spans multiple disciplines, including physics, mathematics, philosophy, and literature.

This book provides an opportunity to engage with Bachelard's thought-provoking ideas on the nature of reality and our place within it.
Through Gaudin's expert editing, On Poetic Imagination and Reverie presents a condensed and accessible introduction to Bachelard's key concepts. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in exploring the relationship between imagination, experience, and knowledge.
