"Images that are primary psychological forces are stronger than ideas, stronger too than real experiences." So French philosopher Gaston Bachelard writes in Earth and Reveries of Repose, the eighth and final volume in the "elemental imagination" series the Institute has translated and published under the direction of Founding Fellow Dr. Joanne H. Stroud. |

With the recent completion of this epic project--accomplished over two-and-a-half decades--the Institute will offer a three-session introduction to Bachelard led by Dr. Stroud on consecutive days. Text will be her book The Seduction of Matter: A Primer on the Elemental Imagination of Gaston Bachelard, with excerpts from the Bachelard translations.
Three sessions, Wed-Thurs-Fri, 5:30-7 pm: February 22-24
Tuition: Members $50, Nonmembers $65, Member Teachers $15
