| 1. Creative Evolution | 
|
By: Henri Bergson
Publisher: Nabu Press
February 09, 2010
This book must be read slowly and deliberately -- do so and it will give you an insight into the brilliance of one of the most revolutionary and extraordinarily perceptive philosopher scientists of the 20th Century, IMO.
Bergson changed the way scientists see the world by introducing his conception of an "original impetus", which began simply (if "intelligently") and evolved matter into living... more

By: Henri Bergson
Publisher: BiblioBazaar

Like Socrates, French Philosopher and Nobel Prize Winner for Literature Henri Bergson is associated with a "method." Socrates piled question after question upon the hapless denizens of Athens. Bergson posed questions not to citizens but to situations, gestures, stage plays, puns, quips, oddities and mannerisms. He asked: what makes this so funny, laughable, risible?

By: Henri Bergson
Publisher: Candler Press
March 15, 2007
Whatever you think of Bergson, you shouldn't read this edition of Matter and Memory.
As the publisher notes in the book (though I don't recall seeing it on Amazon's page), this is a scanned reproduction-- all typing, proofreading, and design were automated. The text is filled with typos, footnotes appear to be run into the body of the text, and it is barely readable... more

| 4. The Creative Mind: An Introduction to Metaphysics |
|
By: Henri Bergson
Publisher: Citadel
February 01, 2002
I haven't read this work in a while, though I read it many times at various points in my adult life. It does, however, stand out for me as the most difficult subject that Philosophy has yet to answer. Or, can it be answered, is probably closer to the point. This is the problem of what we call Intuition. For Bergson, Intuition is a definite, cognative thing. While it might not reflect modern thinking... more

By: Henri Bergson, Frank Lubecki Pogson
Publisher: Nabu Press
January 09, 2010
I needed this book for a college course. When it came, it looked like it was a xeroxed copy and although the book title and author was right, my professor had never seen anything like it. It was obviously a pirated copy and didn't even resemble the real copy. Luckily, I only needed the book for the last two weeks of my class...the professor was workable. If he had not been, I would have been screwed... more

William James hailed Bergson as an ally. In 1903 he wrote: "I have been rereading Bergson's books, and nothing that I have read since has so excited and stimulated my thoughts. I am sure that that metaphysical philosophy has a great future, it breaks through old cadres and brings things into a solution from which new crystals can be got."
Bergson is a master in this field - I highly recommend... more

| 8. The Two Sources of Morality and Religion |
|
By: Henri Louis Bergson
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Press
1977-06
Today, the French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941) is more or less forgotten. However, he was an important person during most of his lifetime, and even something of a celebrity. He met the US president Woodrow Wilson and participated in the creation of the League of Nations, heading its cultural and educational branch. In 1927, Bergson was awarded the Nobel literature prize by the Swedish Academy... more

| 9. Comedy: An Essay on Comedy/Laughter |
|
By: George Meredith, Henri Bergson
Publisher: Peter Smith Publisher Inc
1983-01
This review is partial, and does not include the major essay of Wylie Sypher that serves as epilogue for the essays of Meredith and Bergson.
Meredith, Bergson, and Freud are among the few who so far as I know have presented major theories of comedy and laughter. Meredith's discussion of comedy involves a distinction between the low comedy of laughing, slapstick and its varieties, and the high... more
