Henri Bergson (1859â"1941) is widely regarded as one of the most original and important philosophers of the twentieth century. His work explored a rich panoply of subjects, including time, memory, free will and humour and we owe the popular term ©lan vital to a fundamental insight of Bergsonâs. His books provoked responses from some of the leading thinkers and philosophers of his time, including Albert Einstein, William James and Bertrand Russell, and he is acknowledged as a fundamental influence on Marcel Proust.

The Bergsonian Mind is an outstanding, wide-ranging volume covering the major aspects of Bergsonâs thought, from his early influences to his continued relevance and legacy. Thirty-six chapters by an international team of leading Bergson scholars are divided into five clear parts:

  • Sources and Scene
  • Mind and World
  • Ethics and Politics
  • Reception
  • Bergson and Contemporary Thought.

In these sections fundamental topics are examined, including time, freedom and determinism, memory, perception, evolutionary theory, pragmatism and art. Bergsonâs impact beyond philosophy is also explored in chapters on Bergson and spiritualism, physics, biology, cinema and post-colonial thought.

An indispensable resource for anyone in Philosophy studying and researching Bergsonâs work, The Bergsonian Mind will also interest those in related disciplines, such as Literature, Religion, Sociology and French Studies.

Industry Reviews

'The Bergsonian Mind is accessible to those recently encountering Bergson's philosophy, and it is a reserve of nuanced research for Bergson scholars. This much-needed collection will reward those interested in philosophy, political theory, the history of physical sciences, sociology, and aesthetics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' - CHOICE
