Matter and Memory is a book of cognitive philosophy by Henri
Bergson which discusses the classic problem of how the human mind
and its memories are related to the spirit. Bergson uses the
phenomena of memory to construct arguments in favor of the spirit's
existence. The various types of memory, and how they are related to
the physical world, are discussed. Bergson analyses how memories
are formed, what bearing they have on the world, and how they
ultimately come to constitute their possessor's innate spirit. This
book was originally written by Bergson in response to an essay by
Th odule Ribot, who held that all memory could be traced back to
the brain's nervous system. Thus, the essence of human memory could
be reduced to mere matter, rather than containing a higher,
spiritual element. Bergson fervently disagreed with this opinion,
and strove to write this thesis as a counter to the notion that the
spirit can be reduced to only molecular activity.

Who were the pioneers in science education, and what motivated them
to do what they did?" This book is the second volume of an attempt
to capture and record some of the answers to these questions-either
from the pioneers themselves or from those persons who worked most
closely with them. As with the first volume, we have attempted to
include as many pioneers as possible, but we know that there are
still many that are not included in this or the previous volume. As
we have posed questions, rummaged through files and oft?neglected
books, and probed the memories of many individuals, we have come to
realize our list of true pioneers is ever growing. As we consider
our list of pioneers, we know that there are names on the list that
most of us readily recognize. We also fully realize that there are
names of whom few of us have heard-yet who were significant in
their roles as mentors or idea development and teaching. We
continue to be impressed with our science education "family tree"
ever branching out to more individuals and connections. The stories
in this volume continue to demonstrate how vital this network was
in supporting the individual pioneers during their journey in
difficult times and continues to be for those of us today in our
own enterprise.
