Bachelard, Berdiaeff and the Imagination

Abstract

Although the philosophy of Gaston Bachelard does not refer to God, it carries in it a design of the imagination which presents common points with that defended by Nicolas Berdiaeff. This article tries to encircle them and show that the ways of the surreality opened by Bachelard are another manner of living the process of Co-creation of the world, associating man to God, such as had considered the Russian philosopher from the theological point of view.
