A New Philosophy

""A New Philosophy: Henri Bergson"" by Edouard Le Roy is a comprehensive study of the life and works of the French philosopher Henri Bergson. The book delves into Bergson's philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of intuition and experience in understanding reality. Le Roy provides a detailed analysis of Bergson's key concepts, including duration, elan vital, and intuition, and examines their relevance to contemporary philosophical debates. The book also explores Bergson's influence on other philosophers, such as Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and his impact on fields such as literature, psychology, and the arts. With its clear and accessible style, ""A New Philosophy: Henri Bergson"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in Bergson's philosophy and its ongoing significance.Certain characteristics of Mr Bergson's manner will be remarked throughout: his provisional effort of forgetfulness to recreate a new and untrammelled mind; his mixture of positive inquiry and bold invention; his stupendous reading; his vast pioneer work carried on with indefatigable patience; his constant correction by criticism, informed of the minutest details and swift to follow up each of them at every turn. With a problem which would at first have seemed secondary and incomplete, but which reappears as the subject deepens and is thereby metamorphosed, he connects his entire philosophy; and so well does he blend the whole and breathe upon it the breath of life that the final statement leaves the reader with an impression of sovereign ease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
