Henri Bergson (1859-1941) Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta. Here is a hyperlink to the Microsoft Encarta home page. http://www.encarta.msn.com 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. Born in Paris, October 18, 1859, Bergson was educated at the École Normale Supérieure and the University of Paris. He taught in various secondary schools from 1881 until 1898, when he accepted a professorship at the École Normale Supérieure. Two years later he was appointed to the chair of philosophy at the Collège de France. Meanwhile Bergson's doctoral dissertation, Time and Free Will (1889; trans. 1910), was published and aroused great interest among philosophers. It presents his theories on the freedom of the mind and on duration, which he regarded as the succession of conscious states, intermingling and unmeasured. This work was followed by Matter and Memory (1896; trans. 1911), emphasizing the selectivity of the human brain; Laughter (1900; trans. 1901), an essay on the mechanistic basis of comedy that is probably his most quoted work; and Creative Evolution (1907; trans. 1911), probing the entire problem of human existence and defining the mind as pure energy, the élan vital, or vital force, responsible for all organic evolution. In 1914 Bergson was elected to the French Academy.

Bergson argued that the intuition is deeper than the intellect. His Creative Evolution (1907) and Matter and Memory (1896) attempted to integrate the findings of biological science with a theory of consciousness. Bergson's work was considered the main challenge to the mechanistic view of nature. He is sometimes claimed to have anticipated features of relativity theory and modern scientific theories of the mind. " In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour." (from Le Rire Cahiers de la quinzaine in 1900. Bergson's graduation thesis (in Latin) was on Aristotle's theory on Lucretius. In 1900 he became a professor at the Collège de France. His lectures were highly popular, drawing students, academics, general public and tourists, and by 1911 students referred to the collège as "the house of Bergson." From 1914 until 1921 Édouard Le Roy functioned as Bergson's "permanent substitute" while the philosopher served on French diplomatic missions. Bergson resigned in 1921 in order to dedicate himself to his writing and to his work on behalf of the League of Nations. From 1921 to 1926 he acted as president of the committee on international cooperation of the League of Nations. Bergson enjoyed the status of a cult figure in the years between World Wars. Although not a practicing Jew, Bergson refused the Vichy government's offers to excuse him from the scope of their anti-Semitic laws. He decided to join the persecuted and registered himself at the end of 1940 as a Jew, although his religious thinking had brought him closer to Catholicism. Bergson died of bronchitis on January 3, 1941. For his last seventeen years he had suffered from crippling arthritis.

Post-Enlightenment Mystics: Henri Bergson (1859-1941) *Preached at Grace North Church August 11, 2002.* As many of you know, my grandfather died not too long ago. My parents lived next door to my grandparents during my first six years. This was a hellish arrangement for my mother and her mother-in-law, but it was heaven for a little boy, having grandma and grandpa so close at hand. Although it has been a long time since I have lived near them, I have always felt very close to my grandparents, and it was a very sad day indeed when I heard that my grandfather had finally succumbed to the cancer that was eating away at him. Rarely do you see such an obvious changing of the guard, and it shook me up. Shook my Dad, too. I have never before in my life seen him sob; it was a healing sight indeed, but only added to the surreality of the day. These were the reasons I had declined, but as I sat in the congregation during the service, another reason dawned on me that had not occurred to me before, one that seemed more important than all the others. The truth is, I could not stand up there at the podium and say the things they would have wanted me to say. All I can say is, thank God for the prayer book. In times of deep distress, it prays for us. When the heart is groaning with sighs too deep for words, the liturgy provides the words. There is something deeply human and infinitely comforting in its pages, and I truly could not do my job without it. I can proclaim, "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord" from its pages, but there's no way I could stand up there at my Grandfather's funeral and tell everyone about the joys of heaven, promise them that my Grandfather is walking with Jesus, or that they would see him again. I don't know any of those things, and I can't simply stand up there and lie to people.

Henri Bergson 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. In his Time and Free Will ], Bergson offered an interpretation of consciousness as existing on two levels, the first to be reached by deep introspection, the second an external projection of the first. The deeper self is the seat of creative becoming and of free will. The method of intuitive introspection, first employed in this work, is developed further in his An Introduction to Metaphysics ]. In Matter and Memory Creative Evolution ], Bergson developed the theory of time introduced in his other works and applied it to the study of living things, while in Les Deux Sources de la morale et de la religion The Two Sources of Morality and Religion ], he explored the moral implications of his theory of freedom.

Henri Bergson F ilósofo francés y premio Nobel, elaboró una teoría de la evolución basada en la dimensión espiritual de la vida humana que tuvo una gran influencia en múltiples disciplinas. Nacido en París, el 18 de octubre de 1859, estudió en la École Normale Supérieure y la Universidad de París. Enseñó en varias escuelas desde 1881 hasta 1898, año en que aceptó trabajar como profesor en la École Normale Supérieure. Dos años después fue nombrado para la cátedra de filosofía occidental en el Collège de France. Entretanto se publicó la disertación doctoral de Bergson Tiempo y libre albedrío (1889) que produjo mucho interés entre los filósofos. En ella plantea sus teorías de la libertad de la conciencia y del tiempo, al que consideró como una sucesión de instantes conscientes, entremezclados e ilimitados. A esta obra le siguió Memoria y vida (1896), libro en el que subraya la selectividad del cerebro humano; La risa (1900), ensayo sobre la base mecanicista de la comedia, que tal vez sea su trabajo más citado, y La evolución creadora (1907), donde explora el problema de la existencia humana y define la mente como energía pura, el élan vital o ímpetu vital, responsable de toda la evolución orgánica. En 1914 fue elegido miembro de la Academia Francesa. En 1921 Bergson dejó el Collège de France para dedicarse a los asuntos internacionales, la política, los problemas morales y la religión; se había convertido al catolicismo (sus padres eran judíos). En las dos últimas décadas de su vida sólo publicó un libro
