La recepción española de la epistemología histórica francesa: Gaston Bachelard (1940-1959)

Abstract

The first Spanish reception of Gaston Bachelard's epistemological work took place in 1940s and 1950s decades. José Pemartín and particularly Carlos París and Roberto Saumells were the most important Spanish philosophers who read and make use of the historical and epistemological writings of Bachelard. These were used in order to support an ontological realism more sophisticated but not incompatible with the scholastic realism prevailing in the Spanish academic philosophy of the time. We explore the context of these reception from a sociophilosophical scope.
