Some preliminary remarks on Democritus, Epicurus and Pierre Gassendi -- Democritus and Hylozoism -- The atom in contemporary thought -- The void -- Four atomist systems -- Bachelard and atomism (epistemology) -- Bachelard and atomism ("metaphysics') -- On philosophical aspirations.

Subject: Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) was a seminal figure in contemporary French philosophy. Together with Michel Foucault, Georges Canguilhem and Jean Cavaillès, he shaped the 'French epistemological' school of philosophy of science. In France, Bachelard is a towering presence; in the English-speaking world, he is little known. Now, Zbigniew Kotowicz gives us the first English language, in-depth presentation of the entire spectrum of Bachelard's work: epistemology, poetic imagination and temporality. And he explores an old philosophical tradition that Bachelard's thought opens up - atomism - a doctrine that has been almost forgotten and is much misunderstood. --
