	Henri Bergson (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Summer 2004 Edition)
		Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was one of the most famous and influential French philosophers of the late 19th century-early 20th century.
		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
		Bergson's consciousness and matter ought really to be conceived as expressions of a deeper impulse in which both have their common ground.
		The God of Bergson does not appear to be very different from the individuals on earth, who too struggle but know not for what, who too are not omniscient, not omnipotent, and are obstructed from all sides by external forces, who too are suffering through an inevitable strife throughout their life.
		Bergson's evolution is an open march of the life-force without an end or a purpose, which shows signs of a wild running amuck, as it were, of the hungry consciousness which does not know what food it is in need of.

	Henri Bergson - Philosopher - Biography
		Henri Bergson was born in Paris in 1859.
		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.

		Bergson's works are always inspirational and the remarkable thing is that he doesn't assume anything he always explains what is needed (almost always) unlike the standard treatises on philosophy by other philosophers.
		In this work, one of his earliest (1887), Bergson introduces his concept of duration which is less of a concept than a real lived sense that is happening in your life right at this moment.
		Bergson's work is simply highly insightful of the human condition far more than any dry attempt at it through the usual approaches such as Descarte's or Kant's.

	Henri Bergson
		Bergson, the philosopher of intuitionism and of creative evolution, conceives Reality as a vital impetus, an élan vital, whose essence is evolution and development.
		We see in Bergson a touch of the Sankhya when he makes matter an instrument for the evolutionary activities of consciousness, though consciousness in the Sankhya never changes or evolves in itself.
		Yet, Bergson speaks of consciousness as a metaphysical principle, the essence of the élan vital, and sets it against matter which is an obstructing as well as a helping medium in the evolution of consciousness.
