Abstract	The historical appropriation of epistemological values is the theme of the article. Bachelard, one of the pioneering thinkers on epistemological evolution, presupposed that historical epistemology will culminate in the end of its history. Scientific imagination should be decluttered from human sentimentalities, Bachelard observed. For that, it is necessary that academics has to psychoanalytically purge himself/herself from his/her path dependencies, originary misperceptions and methodological inappropriateness. Thinking along with Bachelard, I explore whether higher education can be channelized towards evolutionary ascendance of epistemological values. (As Provided).
