Synopsis

A volume of Bergson's lectures and essays on the theory and philosophy of consciousness and memory, originally published in 1920. These articles were selected by the author with the view of illustrating his concept that reality is fundamentally and spiritual activity. Contents include: 'Life and Consciousness', 'The Soul and the body', 'Phantasms of the Living and Physical Research', 'Dreams', 'Memory of the Present and False Recognition', 'Intellectual Effort', and 'Brain and Thought: A Philosophical Illusion'. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a chapter From “Bergson And His Philosophy” by J. Alexander Gunn. Henri-Louis Bergson (1859–1941) was a French-Jewish philosopher. He had a significant influence on the tradition of continental philosophy during the first half of the twentieth century until World War II, and is famous for his idea that immediate experience and intuition are more important than abstract rationalism and science for understanding the nature of reality.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume of Lectures and Essays is an English edition of LE nergie spirituelle. It is not simply an approved and authorized translation, for M. Bergson has gone carefully with me into details of meaning and expression in order to give it the same authority as the original French. The separate articles here collected and selected are, partly lectures in exposition of philosophical theory, partly detailed psychological investigation and metaphysical research. The publication of the volume was in preparation when the war broke out and interrupted the work. The principle on which the articles are selected is indicated in the title, Mind Energy. They are chosen by M. Bergson with the view of illustrating his concept that reality is fundamentally a spiritual activity. A second series is to follow illustrating his theory of philosophic method. The subject title, Mind-E nergy, will recall the title, Mind-S tuff, which W. K. Clifford in a lecture many years ago employed to denote a new theory of consciousness.
