In The Dialectic of Duration Gaston Bachelard addresses the nature
of time in response to the writings of his great contemporary,
Henri Bergson. The work is motivated by a refutation of Bergson's
notion of duration - 'lived time', experienced as continuous. For
Bachelard, experienced time is irreducibly fractured and
interrupted, as indeed are material events. At stake is an entire
conception of the physical world, an entire approach to the
philosophy of science. It was in this work that Bachelard first
marshalled all the components of his visionary philosophy of
science, with its steady insistence on the human context and subtle
encompassing of the irrational within the rational. The Dialectic
of Duration reaches far beyond local arguments over the nature of
the physical world to gesture toward the building of an entirely
new form of philosophy.
