Gaston Bachelard, Subversive Humanist Texts and Readings Mary McAllester Jones

In elegant translations, Mary McAllester Jones brings to English- speaking readers the writings of a singular French philosopher of science whose rich intellectual legacy is too little known. This generous introduction to Bachelard's writings about the interrelation of science, poetry, and human consciousness explicates the development of his ideas and clarifies his relation to the contemporary French intellectual revolution more commonly associated with Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida.

During the second half of the seventeenth century the entre intellectual framework of educated Europe underwent a radical transformation. A secularized view of humanity and nature was replacing faith in the direct operation of God's will in the temporal world, while a growing confidence in human reason and the Scientific Revolution turned back the epistemological skepticism spawned by the Reformation.

By focusing on the Dutch Collegiants, a radical Protestant group that flourished in Holland from 1620 to 1690, Andrew Fix explicates the mechanisms at work in this crucial intellectual transition from traditional to modern European worldview.
