A culmination of Bachelard's earlier studies in scientific epistemology, this work builds the epistemic framework that would lead theorists of all stripes to advance knowledge by breaking with accepted modes of thought. \u003ci\u003eIntuition of the Instant\u003c\/i\u003e sows the seeds of Bachelard's future poetics, most notably in the essay \"Poetic Instant and Metaphysical Instant\" (1939)-included in this volume, along with an excerpt from Jean Lescure's lecture \"Introduction to Bachelard's Poetics\" (1966). Eileen Rizo-Patron's translation offers a key to Bachelard's subsequent works on science, time, and imagination, which remain epistemological touchstones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50013944217850,"sku":"9780810129047","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_139ba2ca-e438-46f0-be5d-a6e547c2d570.jpg?v=1786133880","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/intuition-of-the-instant","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
