“États d’âme”. Bachelard et la “psychologie de la patience scientifique”

The phenomenology of the epistemic subjectivity - qua one of the peculiar aspect of Bachelard's philosophy - is lighted up by Comte's scheme of scientific progress considered in its historical, epistemological and psycological dimensions. The latter one coincides with the various interests that lead the subject of the scientific research, the various "ames" that characterize it: from the concrete one of the subject of the pre-science, passing through the concrete-abstract one belonging to the subject of the modern science, to the abstract one belonging to the current science.
