Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Henri Bergson (1859-1941) French philosopher who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927. 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.

HENRI BERGSON A cura di Diego Fusaro "Il mio stato d'animo, avanzando sulla via del tempo, si arricchisce continuamente della propria durata: forma, per così dire, valanga con se medesimo. Se la nostra esistenza fosse costituita di stati separati, di cui un Io impassibile dovesse far la sintesi, non ci sarebbe per noi durata: poiché un Io che non muti non si svolge, come non si svolge uno stato psichico che resti identico a se stesso finchè non venga sostituito dallo stato successivo. Infatti, la nostra durata non è il susseguirsi di un istante ad un altro istante: in tal caso esisterebbe solo il presente, il passato non si perpetuerebbe nel presente e non ci sarebbe evoluzione né durata concreta. La durata è l'incessante progredire del passato che intacca l'avvenire e che, progredendo, si accresce. E poichè si accresce continuamente, il passato si conserva indefinitamente. " (L'evoluzione creatrice) Henri Bergson nasce da famiglia ebrea e resterà ebreo fino alla fine, anche se meditò spesso di convertirsi al cristianesimo, senza mai però farlo, perché in quegli anni, in cui la Germania nazista stava sterminando milioni di ebrei, convertirsi al cristianesimo avrebbe voluto dire abiurare e la gente avrebbe facilmente creduto che il vero motivo di tale gesto fosse appunto di evitare le persecuzioni. Una delle prime opere che egli scrive, dal titolo anonimo ma dai contenuti dirompenti, è il Saggio sui dati immediati della coscienza " (1889): si tratta di un'opera di remota ascendenza cartesiana, in quanto l'uomo viene inteso come luogo in cui convivono lo spirito e l'anima, ma, nonostante quest'analogia con il celebre pensatore francese del Seicento, la soluzione che Bergson prospetta al problema del rapporto spirito/anima è tutta in favore dell'anima, a dispetto dell'equilibrio ipotizzato da Cartesio stesso. Ad un periodo più maturo risale l'opera più famosa di Bergson, intitolata

HENRI BERGSON A cura di VITA, OPERE E CONTESTO STORICO Henri Bergson é indubbiamente il maggiore esponente di quel movimento filosofico definito 'spiritualismo' francese. Nato a Parigi nel 1859 da famiglia ebrea di origine polacca, Bergson studiò all' Ecole Normale seguendo i corsi di Boutroux e di Ollé-Laprune. Nel 1889 conseguì il dottorato in Filosofia con due dissertazioni, rispettivamente in latino e in francese. La seconda, il Saggio sui dati immediati della coscienza , fu pubblicata nello stesso anno e riscosse un successo strepitoso. La seconda opera importante, Materia e memoria , fece la sua comparsa nel 1896 ed ebbe una grande influenza sul filosofo William James e su Marcel Proust, di cui Bergson stesso sposò una cugina. Tre anni dopo, Bergson fu convocato ad insegnare al Collége de France; al 1903 e al 1907 risalgono rispettivamente l' Introduzione alla metafisica e l'opera più celebre di Bergson, L'evoluzione creatrice . Va senz'altro anche citata Durata e simultaneità (1922) , dedicata alla discussione delle teoria della relatività di Einstein. Negli anni seguenti, la fama di Bergson crebbe a dismisura: divenuto accademico di Francia, nel 1928 gli venne conferito il premio Nobel per la letteratura. La sua ultima opera importante é datata 1932 e si intitola

A sua filosofia está em estreita relação com o positivismo do século xix Para Bergson, o homem é capaz de superar o domínio da inteligência e de guardar o impulso criador, superando o nível estático da moral e da religião até transcender plenamente o élan vital, o impulso vital, que, definitivamente, é de Deus, se não é o próprio Deus.

Note: the following has been abstracted from the Grolier Encyclopedia. Henri Bergson The French philosopher Henri Bergson, b. Oct. 18, 1859, d. Jan. 4, 1941, was internationally known for his concepts of inner duration, creative evolution, and the limits of human intelligence. After beginning his teaching career at Clermont-Ferrand in 1883, he joined (1900) the College de France, where his lectures enjoyed unparalleled success until his retirement in 1921. In 1918 he was accepted into the French Academy. During World War I he participated in diplomatic missions designed to bring the United States into the conflict. Afterwards he participated in the League of Nations, presiding over the creation of the Committee for Intellectual Cooperation, later to become UNESCO. In his later years Bergson was forced by crippling arthritis into virtual seclusion. He was unable to accept in person the Nobel Prize for literature awarded him in 1927.
