The Psychoanalysis of Fire by Gaston Bachelard (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Psychoanalysis of Fire by Gaston Bachelard We have only to speak of an object to think that we are being objective.

FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Bachelard is neither a self-confessed and tortured atheist like Satre, nor, like Chardin, a heretic combining a belief in God with a proficiency in modern science.
