THE PSYCHOANALYSIS OF FIRE, THE PHILOSOPHY
Gaston Bachelard's "The Psychoanalysis of Fire" (1938) explores humanity's primal relationship with flame—how fire symbolizes both destruction and creation, knowledge and forbidden desire. This work examines how fire connects to our deepest psychological impulses, from Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to the purification rituals across cultures.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) was a French philosopher whose work bridged science and poetics. Best known for "The Psychoanalysis of Fire" (1938), Bachelard explored humanity's primal relationship with the elements—fire, water, air, and earth—examining how they function as psychological symbols in dreams, myths, and imagination. His philosophical method combined rational scientific inquiry with deep attention to the poetic image, influencing fields from literary criticism to phenomenology. Bachelard believed that elemental forces connect to our deepest psychological impulses, revealing how physical phenomena carry profound symbolic meaning in human consciousness.
