Gaston Bachelard war ein französischer Philosoph, der sich mit Wissenschaftstheorie und Dichtung gleichermaßen beschäftigte. In Wissenschaft wie künstlerischer Imagination sah Bachelard zwei unterschiedliche, aber gleichwertige Möglichkeiten, sich der Differenz des Neuen zu öffnen, als Mensch zu wachsen. Im Bereich der Wissenschaftstheorie sind seine Begriffe Erkenntnishindernis und epistemologisches Profil von Bedeutung.

„Words … are little houses, each with its cellar and garret. Common sense lives on the ground floor, always ready to engage in ‘foreign commerce’ on the same level as the others, as the passers-by, who are never dreamers. To go upstairs in the word house is to withdraw step by step; while to go down to the cellar is to dream, it is losing oneself in the distant corridors of an obscure etymology, looking for treasures that cannot be found in words. To mount and descend in the words themselves—this is a poet’s life. To mount too high or descend too low is allowed in the case of poets, who bring earth and sky together.“
