epistemology [épistémologie]

The aim of this paper is to determine Michel Serres as a successor of Gaston Bachelard and present a genealogy of epistemology［épistémologie］. Generally speaking Serres is known as a Leibnizian, but his early works are influenced by Bachelard. We inquire their relationship under four themes. Firstly, we confirm Bachelard’s division of sciences and the poetry and follow Serres’s discussion that tries to unite these two fields. Secondly, we confirm Serres’s new perspective of history of science as a result of this union. Thirdly, we discuss the Serres’s criticism against Bachelard’s ideology. Finally, we present how Serres erases the philosophy of subjectivity that Bachelard maintains.
