"Gaston Bachelard (1884 -1962) is one of the most famous philosophers of the French 20th century, leaving a huge body of writing stretching from his first publication in 1928 right up to the time of his death.

"First published in 1938, this ubiquitously taught French-text translation expounds on the theory of knowledge and its developmentâa key element of Gaston Bachelard's notion of "the epistemological obstacle"âand the unavoidable presence in the thinking individual's mind of preconceived and misleading ideas derived from the very nature of language and culture."
