Full textAccording to Henri Bergson, to live and to think is to create. Such is the substance of the philosophy of the duration which rejects the spatial representation of time, which was the basis for the scientific and philosophical discourses separating life and thought. In fact, we continually and constantly live and think in a time that lasts. Thought creating itself with unpredictability and novelty. The creative thought expresses itself when knowledge and reflection are elaborated by means of intuitive intelligence, in relation to immediate experience. In other words, for sciences and philosophy to seize the reality of matter and life, man must be immersed in durations (his one and the one of the objects of knowledge). This thought invites sciences and metaphysics to mould themselves constantly on the real. Drawing from multidisciplinary and eclectic work, this thought especially leads to intuition, the method and the ability to think in the duration and to put ourselves back in the creative current of the life. However, the full expression of the creative life requires us to work on the liberation of our “deeper personal nature” (“ moi profond ”), and to emancipate ourselves from social and political enclosures. For Bergson, man activates this liberation through his will and by taking some men (artist, mystic, etc. ) as his models who live, think and already act in the duration, and who contribute to the progressive change of the bellicose society into the “democracy having evangelical essence”

Full textThis thesis is an attempt to describe the identity of a philosopher as such who, one hand, produced a work of the first rank and, on the other, assumed notable political (diplomatical, in particular) responsibilities when the USA decided to enter the war (1917). This research revealed itself all the more necessary as some intellectuals (Politzer, Nizan) tryed to invalidate Bergson’s philosophical work in polemically using his commitments during the war. The thesis is centered on the analysis of the missions of Bergson delegated to W. Wilson (February 1st -may 13st 1917; June-July-August 1918). It was asked what made philosophically possible the acceptance of the missions (first part: philosophy and society) and what Bergson revealed of himself (second part: the splitting). Finally it was asked what was the influence of the missions on the continuation of Bergson’s work (the backward effect of the missions of the Bergson in a work: fourth part). In conclusion the commitment of Bergson ever against Nazism and Vichy regime has been analyzed

Full textThis study aims to describe the process of the introduction of henri bergson in china betwwen 1913 and 1941. This work is divided into four parts : introduction of bergson in china (1913-1918), expansion of bergsonism (1919-1923), analysis of bergson's concepts translated into chinese and finally the decline of bergsonism (1924-1941). The chinese translators were acquainted with bergson through japanese and americain writers in 1913. Bergson was praised during the ten following years, two groups of chinese intellectuals started to criticise his philosophy : the conservatives, because they wanted to keep the chinese tradition as it was; and the other group, because they wanted a scientific occidentalisation of china. However, bergson was useful to the confucians who found in him a way to modernize confucianism. The decline of bergsonism started in the second half of 1920's because of the political context, and because of its assimilation to confucianism which impeded its own proper development.

Full textH. Bergson is a current philosopher to deal with the question about image. He didn't study the image itself in the concret. However, we could discover the key to constitute the image ontology in his metaphysical thought. The object of this study is to study on ontologic phase and the inner mechanism in Bergson's thought of image. He gives up the concept of material as a traditional substance, with a concern of image. As a result, the image was to be a basis to build a metaphysics on him. Now, image is to be an original being prior to material and representation

Full textThe purpose of this study is to prouve that the metaphysics of Bergson is a metaphysics of interiority. This determination must not to be interpreted as an extension of psychology to ontology, but as the affirmation that we are introduce into metaphysic thanks to the intuition of duration of the myself. This intuition means that there is, inside of the myself, a immanent duration which transcends it. The first experience leads us to the problem of exteriorization. Exteriorization is the test of otherness vy an immanent selfreturn, and allows us to transcend ourselves and to meet the different degrees of Beeing. This meeting occurs in the duration. Consequently we have to think this problem of bergsonian metaphysics. On one way we have to show the difficulties and the solutions in the works of Henri Bergson. On the other way, we have to show the consequences in the fields of ontology, epistemology and ethics
Tahon, Thierry. "La problématique du Tout dans la philosophie de Bergson." Bordeaux 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995BOR30012.
Full textThis study tends to demonstrate that the complete works of bergson hinge on the theme of the great whole. The great whol e is nothing else but the world where we live, the result of the outpourring of the life force. Until 1907, every great book from bergson has aimed at demonstrating that the field he studies (consciousness, inanimate matter, or life) conta ins a duration. Progressively, bergson demonstrates the theory that the great whole is duration or durations. The book of 1907 shows this and conceives at the source of the great whole, a single principle originating in a cosmic god. But a fter 1907, bergson takes no further interest in the great whole and forsakes this theme superseded by two realities that the great whole reveals : god and life force. With bergson's last book (1932), we understand the meaning of the great whole, knowing the divine intention. Life force was to promote a mankind worthy of divine love : but he deviated f rom this mission, by thinking about living conditions of the people and by offering them a hospitale planet. The limitation of this source couldn't bear the unexpectd burden of theinitial program : mankind is therefore imperfect. Consequently, the great whole is attention of live force for men, but at the same time the unexpected creation which prevented the fulfilment of god's plan

In his first book, Essay about the Immediate Data of Consciousness, Bergson seeks to resolve or dissolve the "freedom's problem" through debugging time, the similarity with the space. As a result, he presents a unique perception of freedom, irreducible to the term of the determinism of the free will defenders. For this, the author had to confront himself to the problematic left by Kant's Critique and made some changes on it. The problem of this research is: what critical and positive effects these changes have on the research of learning? What connection between freedom, to Bergson, and learning can present due to these developments?
Em seu primeiro livro, Ensaio Sobre os Dados Imediatos da Consciência, Bergson busca resolver ou dissolver o “problema da liberdade” por meio de depuração do tempo da similitude com o espaço. Como resultado, ele apresenta uma percepção singular da liberdade, irredutível aos termos do determinismo e dos defensores do livre arbítrio. Para isso, o autor teve de se confrontar com a problemática da Crítica kantiana e efetuar nela certas alterações. O problema desta pesquisa é: que efeitos críticos e positivos essas alterações exercem na investigação da aprendizagem? Que relação entre liberdade, no sentido de Bergson, e aprendizagem pode se apresentar por conta desses desdobramentos?

Resumo: Esta dissertação pretende apresentar um estudo de conceitos bergsonianos distribuídos ao longo do Ensaio e Matéria e Memória observando seus campos problemáticos expressos nas próprias obras. Campos que oscilam entre epistemologia e metafísica e que recorrem a um método problematizante. Ao mesmo tempo este estudo explora a perspectiva deleuziana em seu trabalho monográfico sobre Bergson. Perspectiva esta que oferece uma visão privilegiada no exame de um bergsonismo em expansão. Multiplicidade, movimento e matéria são noções que aparecem sucessivamente na passagem do Ensaio o livro seguinte, e que muito embora procuremos respeitar a ordem de aparição dessas noções não pretendemos estabelecer uma sequência logicamente definida. Observamos simplesmente que essa tríade poderá facilitar a compreensão de cada um dos termos

Full textThe study of subjectivity's problem in the philosophy of bergson ne- cessarily passes by determinating the role that virtuality's notion plays on the invention of his three fundamental concepts. The research is centered in two main ideas: l) the subjectivity appears as the re- sult of the essentially creative process through which the virtual changes and actualises itself; 2) to be able to think liberty and creation, subjectivity must be surpassed. Thus, the progressive de- | velopment of bergson's thinking, ruled by the successive invention of his three major concepts - duration, memory, elan vital - expres- ses three different and every time clearer manners of surpassing the dichotomy between subject and object. Each of these moments is cha- racterized by a deeper liberation of the virtual's sphere from the subjectivity's sphere

Full textThis thesis reconstructs the transformations in Henri Bergson's thought during the period between Creative Evolution (1907) and the Two sources of morality and religion (1932). It analyses the debate prompted by his work among German philosophers, and in which Bergson himself took part during these years. Lectures delivered by Bergson during the second and third decades of the 20th century, and the essay of 1932, introduced new themes in his philosophy. A reflection on issues such as social life, morality, religion, mysticism, history and mechanics led Bergson to redefine his stance on some of the fundamental aspects of his teaching. The way in which these themes emerged and re-definitions took shape, though in part implicit in Bergson's previous writings and intelligible from the inner momentum of his thought, becomes clearer if we situate the debate within its precise historical and geographical context. By plotting the influence of four points on the geo-philosophical map - corresponding to the cities of Jena, Berlin, Heidelberg and Göttingen - and by conducting a reflection on the impact of World War, this research has traced the main philosophical transfers that took place between Bergson and German philosophers of his time. The genesis of the Two Sources can be better understood in the light of these forgotten dialogues, and Bergson's final work acquires wider significance in the history of European philosophy

Full textThe principle aim of my work is to examine what is the mission that Bergson attribute to the metaphysics. According to Bergson, the positive science eliminate systematically the effets of the time from the world : its « positivity » comes from that it spatialize all that it touche. So Bergson attribue to the metaphysics the mission of restoring the time to the reality and of seeing all things sub specie durationis. « Duration » is the concept that Bergon has created for describing the radical changement that this restoration of the time to the world bring to our vision of the world. Bergson admit that the metaphysics is superior to the positive science because, according to him, it is the time that is the reel fabric of the reality and the properties of the space that are within the reach of the positive science are the manifestations superficiels of the time. So Bergson’s conception of the metaphysics comes from his conception of the relation between the time and the space. With his own conception of the time and of the space, Bergson tries to criticize Einstein’s conception of them. Is Bergson’s philosophy conciliable with the theory of the Relativity ?

Full textHenri Bergson's philosophy, apprehended as a "philosophy of sense and subjectivity", or as a "vitalism of the Open", has often constitued a landmark to find one's way in the French philosophical landscape of the XXth century. From Sartre to Deleuze, one could distinguish a series of philosophers who, consciously or unconsciously, re-activated a certain "Bergsonian" way of thinking, or at least borrowed several features from Bergsonism. As we shall see in the present study, despite their apparent disappearance from the philosophical field of the end of the 20s, consequential of what I call a "reaction", bergsonian concepts, as much as a certain style of problematization, in fact continued to innervate the French philosophical thought of the last century. This innervation comprises very distinct stages which bear themselves their own logic and internal dynamisms, constituting sequences to which correspond the three parts of this study. This innervation is also the products of a series of "reactions", each time singularising a series of operations of reproblematisation, of deformation and of redefinition of notions that Bergson himself used for his own account between 1890 and 1930. Each time the Bergsonian discourse permeates a new work, it carries within itself the capital proper to previous appropriations, its singularity now being therefore, not separable from the novel philosophical field within which it is played out anew. Moreover, each continuation or repetition of Bergsonian appear as means of articulating and resolving new problems of which we shall explore the originality ans stress the importance. Thus, the challenge consists in retracing the history of the various "reactions" to Bergsonism between 1929 (date of publication of Politzer's pamphlet) and 1969 (date of Deleuze's thesis defense). This challenge does not lead to a linear approach to history. Rather, it extracts from it the complex transformations, both aleatory and yet coherent in their own way, animating the conceptual features of French philosophical thought

Full textThe examination of the compatibility between the notions of continuity and freedom proved to be necessary within the context of research into the notion of creation in the bergsonic philosophy. The idea of creative duration suggests a conception of the being as a continuous extraction of itself. In Bergson, one observes on the one hand an original scission of the same into an otherness (or of the one into a qualitative multiplicity), and, on the other hand, the alteration of reality through the medium of a division operated by the intellect (which corresponds to his transposition into a quantitative multiplicity). In undertaking to define the presuppositions of the sudden appearance of a functional discontinuity (in every aspect different from an artificial discontinuity) in the continuity of the real, we are led to the notion of force. The notion of creation is determined in relation to two types of continuity, diametrically opposed: an unilinear homogeneous continuity, source of the identical and the repetitive, and a deep heterogeneous continuity bearer of unforeseen di8scontinuities, perceptible by intuition. Therefore it is advisable to establish a distinction between a logical or mechanical causality and a creative causality acting as a no causal cause. The real as creative becoming save the discontinuous from a sterile isolation and safeguards the continuous from an ineluctable necessity. Thus, the notion of creation suggests, in Bergson’s philosophy, the progression of the continuous towards the discontinuous and, converse

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to reconstruct the genesis of Bergson's concept of duration. The main interest is not in understanding what duration is, but rather in seeing how and by what means Bergson introduces it, argues for it, and makes it work. The method applied, that of "micro-reading", follows Bergson's texts closely in order to accentuate his modalities or techniques of thought. The study reveals that the concept becoming that never reduces itself to a particular function. The duration is not a given or a fact ; it defies objectification. Yet it is the sole organizer of the entire field of the Bergson's thought, defining its first and ultimate procedures
Cornibert, Nicolas. "Image et matière chez Bergson." Poitiers, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006POIT5031.
Full textBergson’s philosophy is usually presented as a thought of the space’s and duration dualism. Nevertheless, in this same dualism, the notion of matter characterizes itself by its enigmatical dimension : does one have to assimilate it to space (pure reciprocal exteriority without renewal) as it is said in its Essay or to link it to duration, that is to say, an act of temporal nature and dynamism, as it is suggested in the remaining of the work ? How to explain anyway this oscillation of the notion of matter ?The notion of image, defined in the second foreword of Matter and Memory as an intermediate existence between an object and its representation, is useful to tackle the matter’s issue that is constantly changing in Bergson’s thought. It even will finally bring us to adopt the idea of the matter’s dynamical detent, which is proper to Creative Evolution

Full textOur first part is devoted to the step, fine and articulated, of the bergsonian method as it crosses whole work and underlies it. Same manner, it took time for explicit topic than it did not confer to him a traditional power of resolution of the problems of metaphysics. Its books, its articles, conferences, its correspondence as its courses - whose certain passages which we reproduce here are still new - testify thus to this attention repeated with the processes by which it obtained its results more than with its results themselves. As soon as we adopt this perspective, the unity so looked for by the work of Bergson appears more clearly. Our second part benefits from this coherence to propose a reading which follows the movement and the unity of the work such as it spreads book after book. It seems that every book concerns a particular problem the resolution of which leads(drives) to the following problem, so that on the occasion of the various treated problems - the problem of the free will (Time and Free Will), the problem of the union of the soul and the body (Matter and Memory), the problem of the causality (Creative Evolution), the problem of the will (The two Sources of the morality and the Religion), it continues the same problem which crosses the whole work and finds every time an element of its answer. If the person is made in the tissue of duration, its that it offers in return the place where all its different various dimensions (present, past, future). The person, in all its states, substitutes the subject and thinks itself like time in opposition to its transcendental exile

Full textThis thesis analyses aspects of russian philosophical thought of the beginning of the twentieth century in the light of the reception of henri bergson's philosophy, considered loess in its own right bergson's thought is taken as a sort of reagent so as to test the "specificity" of the russian philosophical discourse which in this period is partially compounded of a reappraisal of its nineteenth century heritage. The thesis has two main parts. The first reviews the russian philosophical "scene": analysis of the teaching practice and publications; account of the multiple interatctions with western philosophical currents -neokantianism, pragmatism, life philosophies - all of which prefigure and shape the perception of bergson's philosophy in russia. In the second part key bergsonian concepts (duree, l'elan vital, intuition) are juxtaposed to analogous concepts in the works of nikolaj losskij, semen frank, sergej askol'dov. Also non-specialist readings of bergson's thought (notably the anarchist kniznik-vetrov) are considered for their role in reaccentuating the original content of bergson's notions. It is thereby possible to highlight the degree of correspondence between bergson's thought and that of his russian contemporaries, but also to insist on areas which are mutually exclusive

Resumo: O ponto de partida desta tese foi a observação das reações das pessoas diante das mudanças introduzidas pela teoria da Relatividade no conceito de tempo. As pessoas às quais me refiro são as do senso comum; estas, em geral, mostram certo desconforto em relação às múltiplas medidas do tempo previstas na teoria. Ao reagir contra o incômodo que a teoria provoca, o senso comum parece preferir permanecer apegado ao caráter absoluto do tempo newtoniano, apesar da já centenária teoria de Einstein. Daí o título da tese, O Anacronismo do Tempo. A investigação das referidas reações revelou a ressonância entre elas e a inquietação do filósofo Henri Bergson em relação ao mesmo tema. O debate sobre a Relatividade de 1922 entre Bergson e Einstein levantou a questão do significado filosófico do tempo, mas esta foi ofuscada pelo sucesso acadêmico e popular da teoria. Apesar das falsas aparências, Bergson não desejava preservar o tempo absoluto ou contestar a Relatividade, mas tentava retirar dela a pretensão de reduzir a duração a um psicologismo. Para o filósofo francês, é através das sinergias entre inteligência e intuição e entre física e metafísica que a humanidade pode construir uma ciência completa. Esta tese procura mostrar que Bergson vislumbrou na teoria de Einstein a oportunidade de recolocar a questão do tempo a serviço destas sinergias
Abstract: The starting point of this thesis was the observation of people's reactions in face of the changes introduced to the concept of time by Theory of Relativity. The people I refer to are those who have common sense and who, in general, display a certain level of discomfort in what concerns the multiple measurements of time predicted in the theory. In reacting against this discomfort provoked by the theory, common sense seems to prefer to cling to the absolute character of Newtonian time, in spite of Einstein's a-hundred-year old theory. Hence, the title of the thesis, The Anachronism of Time. The investigation of the above mentioned reactions has revealed a resonance between them and French philosopher Henri Bergson's restlessness concerning the same theme. The 1992 debate about Relativity between Bergson and Einstein raised the question of the philosophical meaning of time but this question was neglected due to the academic and popular success of the theory. Despite false appearances, Bergson didn't want to either preserve absolute time or contest Relativity, but tried to remove from it the intention of reducing the duration to a psycho-logic. For Bergson humanity can construct a complete science through synergies between intelligence and intuition and between physics and metaphysics. This thesis proposes to demonstrate that Bergson saw in Einstein's theory the opportunity to put the question of time to the service of these synergies

Full textWe begin (chapteriv) with three short chapters comparing biographies of both authors. Then, four long chapters constitue the dialogue itself. Firstly we ask wether, as bergson writes, the existence of a free will is improveable and if this supposed inability to analyse freedom is a manifestation of the possibility of freedom. We then ask (chapter v) how the constituent determinism (physical or psychic) of each human being can lead to responsability. By tackling the preceeding chapter in more depth, chapter vi confronts the question of knowing how far one can think of a divine freedom. As the reply to the question "why is there something rather than nothing?", a question in which bergson believes he sees the expression of a non-issue. Consequently, our chapter vii asks how for philosophy can take into account an eventual encounter between such divine creator freedom and human freedom. We are thus lead to question the restrictive meaning th at kant gives to the verb" to think" and to place our two authors in contrast to certain aspects of the thoughts of descartes, spinoza, leibniz, freud, heidegger, sartre

Full textThis research examines the development of the notion of armor in the first fifteen years of Wilhelm Reich´s work, from 1920 until 1935. As the main goal, we aimed to answer the question: What is (are) the meaning(s) of the term armor in Wilhelm Reich´s thought? We had in view, above all, contribute to clear up and discuss this important notion in Reichian thought. In terms of method, in order to keep track of the author´s thinking route, we followed the chronological sequence of his publications. Based on this historical orientation, we focused and detailed the texts that, in our view, supplies subsidies for the comprehension about the notion of armor. Moreover, we drew our attention to the probable synonyms and meanings, even if the term was not cited. To begin, we researched the etymology of the term. Then, we listed two authors the French philosopher Henri Bergson and the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud investigated because of their importance on the construction of early Reich´s thought and, possibly, concerning the notion of armor. In terms of results, the analyzed Reich´s texts indicated that the significances of defense, protection and resistance are always present. Among the accessed articles, we localized the very first appearance of the word in 1922, as narcissistic armor. We verified that, to Reich, the armor keeps in contact with the inner e outer realities, articulates the notions of drive economy, ego and character, and has relations with the repression operation. In the beginning, it is conceived in the psychological sphere, but, gradually, it is considered in a somatic scope as well, especially as a chronic muscular hypertony. Yet, we wove some relations with Bergson´s view about the theme and with the freudians conception concerning the protective shield. Finally, under the health-disease angle, we pointed out some aspects and relations between the notion of armor and the human development process

Full textThe present study intends to show how Bergson's philosophy influences Merleau-Ponty's one. We think that Bergson's philosophy directs the "first" Merleau-Ponty toward the "world" which precedes knowledge, the "world" before the devision of which is made into "phenomenon" and "reality" by idealism and realism. This philosophical orientation is found in his "last" works. But our study does not only lie in detemining what role Bergson's philosophy plays in the formation of Merleau-Ponty's one. It consists also in understanding what senses Merleau-Ponty' phenomenology and ontologoy have in this philosophical orientation. We seek to show in what sens Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology is not a suitable philosophical methode to seize the "world" which preceeds knowledge. And we also try to elucidate in what sense his ontology can seize this "world"

Full textThe present essay aims to investigate the genesis of transformative potencies generally assigned to memory by modern Transitional Justices theorists. Starting on its genetic relationship with International Human Rights Law, this essay have clarified the patterns of memory in Transitional Justice proving the central role played by memory in the field of transitional practices as well as it has demonstrated the constant assignment of transformative potencies to memory. Once established these patterns, this study diagnosed a theoretical gap on connecting memory and transition on Transitional Justice theory. Therefore, according to our hypothesis, an ontological, dynamic and meta-individual concept of memory, as registered on Bergsons philosophy, would comprehend Transitional Justices heterogenic notions of memory and could go far beyond them. By this mean, we were able to fulfill the theoretical gap encountered in order to clarify how is possible to assign transitional potencies to memory. Thus, this study demonstrates that Bergsons durational philosophy promotes a connection between ontology and politics, real duration, memory and variation of ways of life. Afterwards, we derivated from that bergsonian political ontology subjective, moral and institutional consequences related to democracy and human rights referrals that Bergson and Transitional Justices theorists have in common. We have tried to establish a problem not yet investigated by Transitional Justice Theory and offer a original solution to it since Henri Bergsons philosophy, his concept of memory and its political implications.

Full textIn Bergson’s school of thought the knowledge of the inside world is achieved through intuition, and in the Surrealism artistic movement it’s through the “voyage of imagination” that one achieves the discovery of the reality beyond this world. The former reaches the concept of “duration”, while the result of the latter’s poetic efforts is the dissolution of logic and the moving of the boundaries of time and space. In his philosophical musings, Bergson discovers the true form of the “duration” which is the curved line, a movement based on grace and the union of the three tenses. At the same time, the surrealist artists will reach through their poetic and artistic creation something that is very similar to Bergson’s philosophy. It is then that Julien Gracq’s analysis about surrealism being closer to Bergson than to Freud becomes meaningful to us.That being in consideration, the aim of this work will be to reveal the close proximity between the surrealist artists and Bergson, and doing so identify the place of the bergsonian “duration” and its spatio-temporal qualities, namely “continuity in time” and “simultaneity”, in surrealist art. This research, entitled “Esthetics of the curve in surrealist poetry” aims to bring the evidence of the presence of the concept of the curve and its formal and internal qualities like fluidity, graciousness and the serpentine and cyclic qualities, in the art and poetry of the surrealism

Full textThis dissertation presents a trail of traces from a philosofical path and its crisis. Crisis interpreted as a 'gesture of creation', that takes the philosopher, in this case Henri Bergson, from one concept to another. From memory to fabulation it is a whole new plan of original thought that insinuates itself, bringing about a new modality of calculation to philosophical problems involved in the radical encounter of the Theory of Knowledge, the Metaphysics and the experience. Situated before this new modality of calculation like a student who stands in front of a blackboard drawing scribbles starts to explore and open up a new world, the writing of this dissertation aims to acomplish problematic approaches, winding inputs and outputs, whose objectives are to tension the ethical and aesthetical limits of the current historical discursivity used in the teaching of history. Furthermore, it intends to show and read Bergson through Deleuzes way, separating the history of philosophy from its museological shroud to present it in a sudden contemporary manner. From a bergsonian virtualism point of view, it postulates an education less wonted to current significant structures and closer to an expressive policy open to the expansion of signification limits.

Full text@Bergson characterizes the "principle of all life, as also of all materiality", that is to say duration, as "pure willing". Such a philosophical decision does not only lead him to a new foundation for metaphysics, but also to a genuine ontology. His characterization of "being" as "willing" implies a very specific meaning for the concept of "being" : notably, the refusal to conceive it as standing out against nothingness. It implies similarly the conversion of the doctrines related to ontology : the theory of modality, and that of truth. By giving an ontological meaning to the will, understood as drive and passivity. Bergson characterizes the being as reality, that is to say as self-unfurling in the midst of potentiallessness and the lack of any transcendent truth. Should the consideration of the will drive us to such an overhaul of the ontology, through which it would become an "ontology of the will", we would have to wonder whether Schopenhauer, with his own concept of Will, as well as Nietzsche, with his concept of will to power, were also led to it. This approach, in return, allow us to display the irreductible opposition between their philosophies of life and the bergsonian philosophy of consciousness and time

Full textThis research investigates one of the celebrated concepts through which Henri Bergson was known: the vital impulse. As in all the author's thought, this idea provides direct relationships with all his philosophy, which is why it is necessary one approach to the notion of metaphysical employed by the philosopher. In fact, it is a metaphysical approach to the problem of evolution that Bergson is proposing in Creative Evolution. The dialogue established with the biology of his time serves as the backdrop for the exhibition of what Bergson calls the limits of scientific method. In addition to this dialogue, it is important to comprehend, too, as the concept emerges, which is its internal coordination in the philosophy of the author and what the implications later in their thinking.
A presente pesquisa busca investigar um dos célebres conceitos pelos quais Henri Bergson ficou conhecido: o elã vital. Como em todo o pensamento do autor, essa ideia estabelece relações diretas com toda a sua filosofia, razão pela qual se faz necessária uma abordagem da própria noção de metafísica empregada pelo filósofo. De fato, é uma abordagem metafísica sobre o problema da evolução das espécies que Bergson está propondo em A evolução criadora. O diálogo estabelecido com a biologia de sua época serve de pano de fundo para a exposição do que Bergson chama de limites do método científico. Para além desse diálogo, é importante compreender, também, como surge o conceito, qual é a sua articulação interna na filosofia do autor e quais as implicações posteriores em seu pensamento.

The following work presents aspects of the philosophies of Heraclitus and Parmenides through the courses given by Bergson at the University of Clermont-Ferrand between 1884 and 1898 before publishing his first work, Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness. Bergson’s perspective is highlighted in relation to the doctrines of Heraclitus and Parmenides in order to clarify the restorative effects of his interpretation, which renews important concepts of these philosophers at the same time as showing features of his future philosophy. We believe a deep study of Bergson’ s courses will contribute both to the research of his mature philosophy as well as to research in Greek philosophy
O trabalho a seguir se insere numa proposta geral que visa apresentar aspectos das filosofias de Heráclito e Parmênides através dos cursos ministrados por Bergson na Universidade de Clermont-Ferrand entre 1884 e 1898, período anterior a publicação de sua primeira obra Ensaio sobre os dados imediatos da conesciência. Ressaltaremos a perspectiva de Bergson em relação às doutrinas de Heráclito e Parmênides, de modo a tornar claros os efeitos restauradores de sua interpretação capaz de renovar os conceitos caros a esses filósofos, da mesma forma que torna patente traços de sua filosofia futura. Acreditamos que um estudo aprofundado dos cursos de Bergson contribui tanto para a pesquisa das obras de sua filosofia madura quanto para a pesquisa no campo da filosofia grega

Procuramos na Introdução à Metafísica, um dos primeiros trabalhos no qual Bergson nos apresenta seu método da intuição e dele faz uma aplicação, respostas às seguintes perguntas: como uma Metafísica positiva seria possível? Por que duas vias de acesso ao real? E de que forma elas se relacionam com a Metafísica proposta por Bergson? Pelo exame do método intuitivo de Bergson e de sua contraposição ao método analítico, chegamos também às oposições entre tempo e espaço, conhecimento metafísico (conhecimento absoluto) e conhecimento científico (conhecimento relativo). Tais oposições nos levaram à hipótese de que o contraponto entre a intuição e a análise seria a via de acesso para uma distinção entre duas vias de acesso ao real. Assim, o objetivo de nosso trabalho é compreender a defesa bergsoniana de uma Metafísica da experiência integral, a defesa de uma Metafísica do espírito, que conhece sem mediações. Tal noção se contrapõe às concepções tradicionais de Metafísica, cujas abstrações fundamentam-se em conceitos gerais. Dessa forma, Bergson é levado a precisar seu método em consonância com uma revitalização da Metafísica num contexto no qual esta se encontrava sob a suspeita da ciência positiva. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
We aimed in the Metaphysics Introduction, one of the first’s works in the Bergson’s, that shows us his intuition method and from it makes an apply, answers to the following questions: How a positive Metaphysics would be possible? Why two ways of access to the real? And in which way they have a relation with the proposed Metaphysics by Bergson? By examining Bergson’s intuitive method and his contraposition to the analytic method, we also got to oppositions between the time and the space, metaphysics knowledge (absolute knowledge) and scientific knowledge (relative knowledge). Such oppositions took us to the hypothesis that the contraposition between intuition and the analysis would be the via of access to a distinction between two access via to the real. Thus, the objective of our work is to comprehend the bergsoniana defense from a Metaphysics of the entire experience, the defense of a Metaphysics of the spirit at knows without mediations. Such notion counters itself the Metaphysics traditional conceptions, which abstractions ground in general conceptions. Thereby, Bergson is taken to the need of his method in consonance with the revitalization of the Metaphysics in a context in which is met beneath the positive science suspicious.

Full textThis encounter between philosophy and dance -in redefining a theoretic-practical field- offers an opportunity to seize corporeities at play in dance from both sensitive and representational points of view, through its relationship with gravity. By splitting the weight in and amongst bodies, North American dance groups of the sixties and seventies (like The Judson Dance Theatre and The Grand Union) have called into question the author's function amid group members. Ever since then, improvisation has singularly expressed some of the many ways taken by that dehierarchization. And it has done so through a gravitational experience that allows both to criticise the myth of authenticity towards oneself, and to come to terms with the problem of composition and immediacy. Working closely with the danced movements of Julyen Hamilton, the present time of improvisation as attention is rethought in consonance with Bergson’s philosophy of duration. And departing from the common question of intuitive posture, a detailed and critical consideration of immediacy and immediate composition is undertaken in terms of qualitative differentiation, heterogeneity and assemblage. Finally, the shifts introduced by improvisation in the field of possibility renew the need for a philosophy of actualisation and becoming. At the same time, this shifts contest the grounds of representation in the edge of arts and politics that has livened up the latest philosophical debates (Deleuze, Rancière). And they force to think and rethink the separation "écart" set up in immediate production and composition

Full textIn order to philosophically illustrate and support my position, I use the aesthetic thoughts of Bergson and Nietzsche and put them in opposition. This is because they exemplify two opposite conceptions of morality that currently permeate society. Bergson's concept of aesthetics depends upon a stance of disinterest. Nietzsche's is utilitarian. The first exemplifies a humanist orientation that supports an altruistic morality and an aesthetics that puts emphasis on perception. This ethical position actually emerges from an active consciousness, a personal mode of being. On the other hand, Nietzsche's stance is a precursor to one strand of postmodern thought that may be described as a pragmatism oriented towards the achievement of power. This attitude excludes any possible form of disinterestedness. Indeed, Nietzscheism espouses a "noble egoism" and an impersonal mode of being that breeds a narcissistic and immature form of artistic creation. This is a creation that becomes a glorification and edification of oneself, albeit an impersonal self. This is a narcissistic attitude that finds an echo in some trends of contemporary art.
In regard to contemporary art, I argue that Nietzsche's influence may be seen in a deviant utilitarian morality that results in a scientistic and anti-aesthetic artistic current. This is a nihilistic trend evident in the work of artists such as Marcel Duchamp. As an alternative, I propose a Bergsonian "ethico-aesthetic" conception of art, inspired and encompassed by disinterestedness as a mature pedagogical value. From this perspective, instead of a neutral attitude, we maintain a more empathic position toward life and art. This altruistic morality produces a responsible and sensible art---concerned with the creation of common grounds. This suggests a need for a form of creation that unfolds from what Bergson could term a "mysterious" sentiment of obligation to bear witness to beauty, in all its forms, as a precisely non-utilitarian and disinterested experience of perception.
