dc.description.abstract | This study aims to sustain the dialogue between the epistemology of the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard and some elements found in the hermeneutic tradition. The purpose of dialogue is born from the need for a reading key to better take account of the complex contemporary realities. The philosophical hermeneutics – as theory of knowledge guided by history – has been trying to assert themselves over the past decades as one that would be better this reading. Being the sciences one of the main constituents of this modern reality, it is therefore required a more open dialogue between hermeneutics and epistemology, since, until then, the relationship between them has been given limited and even problematically. The epistemological work of Bachelard emerges as a possible support of dialogue, to the extent that, in some of its elements, appears much like hermeneutic bias, although they left from different bases and interests. Soon, not attempts here a simple framing of the thought of Bachelard in hermeneutic tradition, but to seek a support in bachelardian as epistemological categories for the effective resumption of dialogue with hermeneutics, in the search for a consistent reading of contemporary reality. | es |
