"This book further-cements his thematic contention that the
imagination is a flame, the flame of the psyche." - Joanne Stroud.
Chapters include "Poetic Images of the Flame in Plant Life," ''The
Solitude of the Candle Dreamer," and "The Light of the Lamp." 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.
