About This Item
Boston: Beacon Press, 1984. xxiv, 190 pages; 21 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning, edges lightly soiled. First printing. Dust jacket toned, with a faded spine, protected in a mylar cover. "In this book, Bachelard draws upon both his scientific training and his interest in the nonrational - which ultimately drew him toward the study of poetics - to explore the deeper meanings of the new physics. In Bachelard's view, the unpredictable behaviour of subatomic particles belies the seemingly neat, ordered, and mechanistic universe that the practical and empirical scientists of the nineteenth century thought they saw." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo.
