The Poetics of Dreams (french Thought and Culture Series)
by I
About This Novel
Bachelard has always permeated the artistic conception of dreams and poetry into his thoughts. In this book, he further introduces phenomenological methods into imagination and poetics. He emphasized the epistemological value of imagination and images, believing that they open up the future: any awareness of consciousness is an increase in consciousness, an increase in light, and an enhancement of psychological coherence. Bachelard used the results of contemporary psychoanalysis in his research. However, his thoughts were closer to Jung's depth psychology. In order to deeply explore the human soul, he entered the distant childhood of human beings, that is, the era when sensibility and rationality were unified long before the emergence of science. He pondered alchemy and little-known aspects of ancient philosophical thought: such as the doctrine of the duality of yin and yang, and the material imagination of the basic elements of the universe: water, fire, air and earth. Bachelard's feminine and masculine "anima" and "animus" guide us to appreciate the poetics of dreams with endless charm.
