From Translator's Note 1950 by Joseph Samuel Bois

To a person who is not familiar with Bachelard's thinking, La Philosophie du Non . . . sounds like a paradox ; . . .   I know it from experience. At first I understood that Bachelard was philosophizing on the non of non=Newtonian, non-Euclidian and non-Aristotelian. This is true, but his thinking goes beyond that. His thesis is, to use E.T. Bell's words, that 'finality is not sought, for it is apparently unattainable.'  Or, to quote A.N. Whitehead : 'The negative judgment is the peak of mentality.'  (Both quotations from Science and Sanity, pp. 367, 369.)
