The positivist science model has been influencing Education for more than three centuries. The belief that guides such model separates the intelligible world, as the most important, which, deals with science, intelligence and the brain from the sensitive world, one-step down in importance, which, deals with sensitive experiences and emotions. The application of such epistemological concepts helped to build the current education model. The current education conceptions indicate an urgency in seeking, not only new methodology theories, but also the construction of an educational concept more connected to modern times demands. The work of Gaston Bachelard is considered one of the most important regarding the twentieth century science revolution when it comes to a new creative poetic construction with several points of view. The following paper tries, briefly, to use the ideas presented by Bachelard in his book “The new scientific spirit” and relate them to the proposal of a poetic point of view regarding education and knowledge by setting a dialogue with other authors who developed their considerations from Bachelard as well.
