The exploration of Gaston Bachelard's philosophy challenges traditional notions of scientific objectivity within postmodern culture. He argues that contemporary science lacks a corresponding philosophy and emphasizes the role of error in the evolution of thought. By redefining scientific phenomena as dependent on theoretical frameworks, Bachelard dismantles the idea of inherent truth, proposing that science is a constructed process influenced by both social and instrumental mediation. His concept of objectivation suggests that the subject shapes the object, raising questions about the nature of scientific knowledge.
