EPISTEMOLOGIA DE GASTON BACHELARD

Abstract

The present article has as main objective to raise in academic productions some of the main characteristics of the theory of the epistemologist Gaston Bachelard. To this end, the corpus of this article is formed by academic productions obtained through surveys at the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations – BDTD, a renowned digital repository, as well as in articles presented in the discipline Theories of Learning of Graduate Studies in Science and Mathematics Education from the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul – UEMS and some of Bachelard's works. We conclude that Bachelard's theory, although not totally focused on education, is important for the understanding of the construction of scientific knowledge and at the same time opens new ways to know the human subconscious.
