Foucault, like his French predecessor and mentor, Gaston Bachelard, paid particular attention to the primacy in history of discursive breaks and ruptures in knowledge or belief systems.3 In this and in Foucault s emphasis on the relative coercion that disciplines exercised on their practitioners, he made arguments already familiar to Anglo-American scholars acquainted with Kuhn s characterizations of "normal science" and the reasons for a scientific community s coherent outlook. However, unlike Kuhn, Foucault declined to dissect the so-called hard sciences as objects of inquiry, restricting himself to discourses and power relationships in the medical, biological, and social sciences.4 However, Foucault did see the potential in the application of his method for the destruction of the demarcation between scientific and nonscientific spheres of action and belief.

This is why the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard felt it appropriate to explore the psychoanalytic influence of these elements (in particular water and fire) in myth and poetry. 

Your I.C. is Pisces, which indicates that feelings of abandonment in childhood make you long for a serene home filled with spiritual solace. Your attitude is that of the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, who wrote in The Poetics of Space, If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say The house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. ...

The most formidable obstacle to the modem theoiy of complexes was the enormous success of the structural theoiy of organic compounds. In 1938 the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard wrote at length of the epistemological obstacles encountered by scientists on their ways toward new and wider horizons of knowledge. A decisive obstacle is always the content of scientific knowledge itself (28). A th an obvious...

Bachelard s epistemology is often presented as a philosophy based on mathematics and physics, like the mainstream of the French tradition of philosophy of science. Indeed such leading figures as Henri Poincare, Gaston Milhaud, Edouard Le Roy, Emile Brunschvicg and Andre Lalande did take their inspiration from mathematics and physics [Brenner, 2003]. The role of chemistry in this tradition has been underestimated. In the works of Pierre Duhem, Emile Meyerson, Helene Metzger and Bachelard, chemistry and its history helped shape a number of key epistemological concepts [Bensaude-Vincent, 2005].
