The famous French scientist-psychologist-literary critic provides a
virtual bestiary for depth psychology and literary criticism in his
study of Isidore Ducasse, known by the pen-name Lautreamont.
Includes essays by James Hillman "Bachelard's Lautreamont, or
Psychoanalysis without a Patient," and Robert Scott Dupree,
"Bachelard as Literary Critic." Bachelard's only book devoted to a
single author/poet. 152 pages, indexed. THE BACHELARD TRANSLATIONS
are the inspiration of Joanne H. Stroud, Director of Publications
for The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, who in 1981
contracted with Jose Corti to publish in English the untranslated
works of Bachelard on the imagination. Gaston Bachelard is
acclaimed as one of the most significant modern French thinkers.
From 1929 to 1962 he authored twenty-three books addressing his
dual concerns, the philosophy of science and the analysis of the
imagination of matter. The influence of his thought can be felt in
all disciplines of the humanities - art, architecture, literature,
language, poetics, philosophy, and depth psychology. 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. One of the amphitheaters of
the Sorbonne is called "L'Amphi Gaston Bachelard," an honor
Bachelard shared with Descartes and Richelieu. He received the
Grand Prix National Lettres in 1961-one of only three philosophers
ever to have achieved this honor. The influence of his thought can
be felt in all disciplines of the humanities-art, architecture,
literature, poetics, psychology, philosophy, and language.
