G. Bachelard on Concepts - Dictionary of Arguments
Foucault II 9ff Bachelard/Foucault: describes epistemological acts and sthresholds: displacements and transformations of concepts. (Also >Concepts/Canguilhem). [Transformations and deplacements] abolish the unlimited accumulation of knowledge, break its slow maturation and let it enter a new time. They cut it off from its empirical origin and from its initial motivations. They purge them of their imaginary complications. In this way they no longer prescribe to historical analysis the search for the silent beginnings, no longer the endless regression to the first precursors, but rather the discovery of a new type of rationality and its manifold effects. Deplacements and transformations of concepts: Georges Canguilhem's analyses can serve as a model for this. >Order/Canguilhem, >Science/Canguilhem. _____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
