		Bergson, Henri (1859-1941), French philosopher and Nobel laureate, who advanced a theory of evolution, based on the spiritual dimension of human life, that had widespread influence in a variety of disciplines.

		In 1914 Bergson was elected to the French Academy.

	Henri Bergson
		Bergson was born in Paris on October 18, 1859; he was the second of seven children of a Polish Father and English mother; both of his parents were Jewish.
		Bergson starts out by showing that the only way in which the two senses of life may be reconciled (without being collapsed) is to examine real life, the real evolution of the species, that is, the phenomenon of change and its profound causes.
		Bergson's answer — his third step — is that, because at the periphery of intelligence a fringe of instinct survives, we are able fundamentally to rejoin the essence of life.

	Henri Bergson - Philosopher - Biography
		Bergson shifted his focus away from mathematics and mechanics, preferring to develop his thoughts, first presented in Time and Free Will, in the humanities and philosophy, particularly to concepts of the mind, the intuition and the experience of time, or duration.
		Tracing the development of the theory from 'special' to 'general' relativity, Bergson posits that a fundamental requirement of the theory is an impossibility — it is based on the assumption that the experiences of two observers moving at different speeds within two different physical systems might be thought of as simultaneous.
		Bergson's concepts regarding time and duration have had a great influence on such philosophers as Gilles Deleuze and Alfred North Whitehead, who expanded Bergson's notions of duration and evolution from their applications to organic life into the physical realm.

	Building Cathedrals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bergson thought that people may not be able to understand this concept through reason, but could feel it through intuition (which means to look steadily).
		In humans, this energy Bergson called "the living spark." The living spark is a creative urge, and is reflected in our every action.
		Because of the power of this living spark, Bergson went to some length to distinguish between the mind and the brain, where part of the living spark existed; the other local is the heart.

	Henri-Louis Bergson
		Henri Bergson was born in Paris as the son of a prosperous Jewish musician from Poland and an Anglo-Irish mother.
		Bergson argued that the 'real time' is experienced as duration and apprehended by intuition, not through separate operations of instinct and the intellect.
		Bergson is generally regarded as having lost his public debate with Einstein, but some of the leading physicists have devoted articles to his work.

	Henri Bergson's The Creative Mind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bergson distinguishes between intuitive and conceptual thinking, explaining how intuition and intellect may be combined to produce a dynamic knowledge of reality.
		Bergson also argues that intellect and intuition are capable of different kinds of knowledge.
		Bergson agrees with William James that truth is a dynamic relation between an idea and an existing reality.

	Bergson, Prigogine and the Rediscovery of Time
		Bergson was certainly "wrong" on some technical points, but his task as a philosopher was to attempt to make explicit inside physics the aspects of time he thought science was neglecting.
		Bergson was concerned with this rejection of qualitative diversity, and especially with the isolation of part from part, this rejection of continuity which constitutes a limitation of the intellect’s treatment of the world.
		Bergson’s distinction between the intellect and intuition, between the mode of practical thought and the mode of speculative, disinterested thought, did not proceed merely from a recognition of the inadequacies of science in the late nineteenth-century.

	Influence as Confluence: Bergson and Whitehead
		Bergson believes that the chemicals, energies, and physical principles without which life could not exist are misconstrued by us as being perfectly spatial, not as possessing degrees of spatiality (i.e., as characterized by their "extensity").
		Bergson on the other hand had come to he seen as yesterday’s news in 1949, his "vitalism" (never a good name for his view, in my thinking) was out of favor, and was held by many to have been discredited by later developments.
		For Bergson, as for Whitehead, there are various overlapping levels of organization in these entities, and only the more richly ordered are capable of imparting the vital aspect of their energy to other beings in reflective fashion, which is what we humans do when we create works of art, crafts, tools, artifacts of any kind.

	Through Bergson's Looking-Glass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bergson believed that life is a vital impulse, not to be understood by reason alone, and sees the comical as something encrusted on the living.
		Early in his essay Bergson observes that laughter and emotion are incompatible: "It seems as though the comic could not produce its disturbing effect unless it fell, so to say, on the surface of a soul that is thoroughly calm and unruffled.
		Basic to Bergson's conception of the comic is the tension that exists between rigidity and suppleness: "rigidity is the comic, and laughter is its corrective" (p.

	Bergson, Henri(-Louis)
		Through his father, a talented musician, Bergson was descended from a rich Polish Jewish family--the sons of Berek, or Berek-son, from which the name Bergson is derived.
		Bergson's upbringing, training, and interests were typically French, and his professional career, as indeed all of his life, was spent in France, most of it in Paris.
		Bergson's entire work may be considered as an extended exploration of the meaning and implications of his intuition of duration as constituting the innermost reality of everything.

	Henri Bergson - Biography
		After a teaching career as a schoolmaster in various secondary schools, Bergson was appointed to the École Normale Supérieure in 1898 and, from 1900 to 1921, held the chair of philosophy at the Collège de France.
		Bergson's English background explains the deep influence that Spencer, Mill, and Darwin had on him during his youth, but his own philosophy is largely a reaction against their rationalist systems.
		Bergson developed his philosophy in a number of books that have become famous not only for their fresh interpretation of life but also for a powerful employment of metaphor, image, and analogy.

	Bergson and His Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bergson's life has been the quiet and uneventful one of a French professor, the chief landmarks in it being the publication of his three principal works, first, in 1889, the Essai sur les donnees immediates de la conscience, then Matiere et Memoire in 1896, and L'Evolution creatrice in 1907.
		Bergson himself would give to his philosophy the title, The Philosophy of Change, and this for a very good reason, for the principle of Change and an insistence on its reality lies at the root of his thought.[Footnote: He suggested this as a sub-title to Dr. H.
		Bergson attempts to show that neither of these separately can admit Parallelism, and that Parallelism cannot be formulated except by a confusion of the two—by a process of mental see-sawing as it were, which of course we are not entitled to perform, Idealism and Realism being two opposed and contradictory views of reality.

		In 1901 Bergson was elected to the Academie des Sciences morales et politiques, and became a member of the Institute.
		As Bergson had a delightful gift of lucid and brief exposition, when the occasion demands such treatment, these lectures on Change formed a most valuable synopsis or brief survey of the fundamental principles of his thought, and served the student or general reader alike as an excellent introduction to the study of the larger volumes.
		Bergson was not, however, silent during the conflict, and he gave some inspiring addresses.
