"THE SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENON CONSTRUCTION" - PERSPECTIVES ON GASTON BACHELARD'S PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE.

Abstract

Our purpose in this short study is to propose an enquiry concerning the Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy of science, whose principal axes are representative of the so called French tradition of epistemology. We will fol-low the guiding principles of the bachelardian’s epistemology. Their attentive analysis will make us able to examine in a detailed and a thorough way the scientific phenomena construction, considering its complexity and the intri-cacy of its elements. With this in prospect, it will be necessary to display the analysis of the scientific phenomena following the integration, in an open ra-tionalism, of the study concerning relations between science and philosophy, the question of the epistemic subject, dialectical relations between theory and experience, within the framework of a fundamental incompletion of human knowledge.
