I discovered him in late 2023, read The Poetics of Space and loved it, read The Flame of the Candle earlier this year and loved that too. He has a book or two for every element I plan on going through. Definitely my favorite phenomenologist to read.
I love Bachelard but I've only read The Poetics of Space and The Psychoanalysis of Fire. I've heard that his philosophy of science is very interesting but I've never properly looked into it. He was my introduction to a lot of poetry as a teen.
>>24686885Bachelard is awesome, man. His stuff about the imagination is tremendous. Poétique de la rêverie is well worth reading. And if you can understand french, do yourself a favor and listen to the small yet precious clips of his voice that are available. He's so jovial, and his way of speaking explains the how and the why of his philosophy better than secondary literature ever could.
Yep, this humble bearded guy from the east region of France is one of my favorite.I have read a lot of his book of imagination and it is really pleasant.
