The psychoanalysis in daytime of the Bachelard: psychoanalysis of objective knowledge

Abstract

The present work intends to establish an argumentative interpretation of the epistemological theory in Bachelardian philosophy, in order to demonstrate the space in which his reflections on psychoanalysis are inserted in the order of the development of scientific knowledge. This epistemological approach can be found in his set of works that make up what is called the author's daytime aspect. Within this field of studies we highlight the work from 1938, entitled: The Formation of the Scientific Spirit. From this context, our efforts focus, above all, on the relationship established between his theory and conceptual aspects arising from psychoanalysis in its Freudian origin. Approaching the elaboration of a psychoanalysis of objective knowledge in Bachelard's epistemology, we list three theoretical structures that helped us establish this connective bridge with psychoanalysis, these being the notions of: Rupture, Rectification and Epistemological Obstacle. From the reconstruction of these three concepts as premises of Bachelard's epistemology, a further deepening of the same notions and the relationships they present between the concepts of repression and the unconscious, postulated in psychoanalytic theory, as well as the respective change in scope are developed. of meaning that the author applies linked to the context of objective knowledge.
