Books by Cristina Chimisso

Situates key French scholars in their historical context and shows how their ideas and agendas were indissolubly linked with their social and institutional positions, such as their political and religious allegiances, their status in academia, and their familial situation.

In this new study, Cristina Chimisso explores the work of the French philospher of science, Gaston Bachelard by situating it within French cultural life of the first half of the twentieth century.
