Resumen de Surrazionalismo: Bachelard e la plasticità della ragione
With his article Surrationalism, 1936, (now in The Rationalist Engagement), Gaston Bachelard codifies the neologism �surrationalism� by which he describes his engagement in favor of a kind of rationality that rejects any closing within the dogmas of indisputable knowledge. The aim of this paper is not only to analyze this concept in its connection with the �philosophy of no� and the �philosophy of re�, but also to highlight the semantic effect of the �sur� that in Bachelard�s text multiplies and produces many neologisms. This necessity to provoke language to take over the effect of liberty produced by surrationalism could find another theoretical resource in the term �plasticity�, as it is used by Catherine Malabou to characterize Hegelian thought and as it is taken by Derrida to identify a kind of reason which does not dominate reality.
