Bachelard, la rupture en permanence
The article deals with dogmatic and critical views of the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard on the philosophy of science, in particular, his central idea about a discontinuous progress of sciences, epistemological breaks between scientific and ordinary knowledge, the necessity to overcome obstacles in the course of the development of the scientific spirit. The author argues against an interpretation of Bachelard’s thought as a dogmatic epistemologist and presents his critical comprehension of scientific progress. His views are compared with the idea of a Russian thinker of the 20th century Yevgeny Zamyatin about the eternal revolution.
