About the Author

Gaston Bachelard is acclaimed as one of the most significant modern thinkers of France. From 1929 to 1962 he wrote twenty-three books concerned with the philosophy of science and the analysis of the imagination of matter. His teaching career included posts at the College de Bar-sur-Aube, the University of Dijon, and from 1940 to 1962 the chair of history and philosophy of science at the Sorbonne. He received the Grand Prix National des Lettres in 1961--one of only three philosophers ever to have achieved this honor. The influence of his thought can be felt in all disciples of the humanities--art, architecture, literature, poetics, psychology, philosophy, and language.

First Sentence:
HERE, IN TWO VOLUMES, is the fourth work which I have dedicated to the subject of the imagination of matter-that is, the imagination of the four elements which philosophy and the ancient sciences, later represented by the science of alchemy, have regarded as the basis of all things. Read the first page
