Psychologie v epistemologii Jeana Piageta a Gastona Bachelarda

Abstract

The main aims of the following paper are to compare the role of psychology in Bachelard ´s epistemology with that in Piaget´s genetic epistemology. It will be shown that using psychology as a method suitable for epistemology is a prolongation of Brunschvicg´s epistemology. But it is not only method what links both Piaget and Bachelard with Brunschvicg. There are also important similarities concerning the basic ideas, such as the idea of progress, role of consciousness, changeability of human mind and partly also that of epistemlogical rupture. The legacy of Brunschvicg is not only passed down, but also and mainly developped by Piaget and Bachelard.
