This is a book about the philosophy of Henri Bergson (1859-1941)
which shows how relevant Bergson is to much contemporary
philosophy. The book takes as its point of departure Bergson's
insistence on precision in philosophy. It then discusses a variety
of topics including laughter, the nature of time as experienced,
how intelligence and language should be construed as a pragmatic
product of evolution, and the antinomies of reason represented by
magic and religion. This is not just another exposition of
Bergson's work. It offers an account of why Bergson commanded such
a massive reading public in his own day and why he deserves to be
read now. Written in a terse and clear style, this book will prove
appealing to teachers and students of philosophy, cognitive
science, psychology, religious studies and literature.
