About Some Basic Features of Bergson’s Philosophy

Abstract

Edouard Le Roy considers in this work a number of the main principles of the Bergson’s teaching, analyzes Bergson’s interpretation of such concepts as intellect and intuition, duration, freedom. While objecting to the critics of the metaphysics of the French intuitionist, he himself somewhat corrects several provisions of his philosophy, revealing their profound meaning. Presenting Bergson’s understanding of the relationship of spirit and matter, Le Roy correlates his teaching with his own concept of “the needs for idealism”.
