About the author
Henri Bergson
515 books827 followersPopular and accessible works of French philosopher and writer Henri Louis Bergson include
Creative Evolution
(1907) and
The Creative Mind
(1934) and largely concern the importance of intuition as a means of attaining knowledge and the élan vital present in all living things; he won the Nobel Prize of 1927 for literature.
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.

De tous les philosophes que j'ai pu lire, Bergson est le seul de positif bahaha
Selon lui, la négation ne peut exister sans affirmation puisqu'elle n'est qu'un jugement de celle-ci; tout comme le vide n'est qu'un concept atteint par la substitution du «tout». Et franchement, je trouve ça magnifique de dire qu'il est impossible de se représenter le néant sans réfléchir à tout ce qui fait qu'il n'est pas.
Je vais essayer d'appliquer ça à ma dépression la team might be cured in two weeks 💅🏻

EXCELLENT. Je revis. Quelle écriture, quelle réflexion, quelle fluidité de la pensée philosophique, quelle finesse. Comment ai-je pu passer à côté du grand Bergson ? Ma vie a de nouveau un sens merci Henri.
