Réflexions sur le temps, l'espace et la vie
Bientôt il affrontera Einstein ; mais pour l'heure nous sommes en 1920, et Bergson, soixante ans, est le philosophe le plus célèbre de son époque. Pour introduire à ses idées principales sur l'art de penser, le temps et la durée, les rapports entre science et philosophie, la créativité, la liberté, il rassemble en quelques pages les passages les plus significatifs de son oeuvre (essentiellement l'"Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience", "Matière et mémoire", et "L'Évolution créatrice"). Ce "Bergson par Bergson" publié alors chez Payot était devenu introuvable ; nous le republions ici.

Although international fame and influence of this late 19th century-early 20th century man reached heights like cult during his lifetime, after the Second World War, his influence decreased notably. Whereas such thinkers as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean Paul Sartre, and Lévinas explicitly acknowledged his influence on their thought, Bergsonism of Gilles Deleuze in 1966 marked the reawakening of interest. Deleuze recognized his concept of multiplicity as his most enduring contribution to thinking. This concept attempts to unify heterogeneity and continuity, contradictory features, in a consistent way. This revolutionary multiplicity despite its difficulty opens the way to a re-conception of community, or so many today think.
