Book •
Gaston Bachelard's "Rational Materialism" delves into the philosophy of science, challenging the role of intuition in scientific understanding.
Bachelard argues that scientific progress often transcends the limits of human intuition, requiring a shift from intuitive understanding to a more rigorous, experimental approach.
He emphasizes the importance of scientific instruments and techniques in shaping our knowledge of the world.
The book critiques phenomenology's reliance on intuition, proposing a "phenomenotechnique" that prioritizes experimental manipulation over intuitive grasp.
Bachelard's work highlights the epistemological break between everyday experience and scientific knowledge.
