Bergson Spiritualist's Metaphysics and the Sciences
Résumé
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was certainly the most influential of all French philosophers in the 20th Century. Till the 1960s approximatively, there was absolutely no doubt about that. I belong probably to the last generation of French students who were presented Bergson as a philosopher as much important as Plato, Descartes or Kant. I can testify that this was obvious for all philosophers, whatever their philosophical orientation. In the past 30 years, however, this situation has dramatically changed. The majority of philosophers under the age of 50 are ignorant of Bergson.
