What is Bachelard on Common vs. Scientific Knowledge about?
This document presents a summary of the text "Common Knowledge and Scientific Knowledge" by Gaston Bachelard. Bachelard distinguishes between common knowledge, which is based on perception and experience, and scientific knowledge, which is grounded in reason and not in experience. The author argues that scientific knowledge breaks with empiricism and is not a continuation of vulgar knowledge. According to Bachelard, scientific progress occurs through major breaks and abrupt changes.
