The Crisis in Modernism - Bergson and the Vitalist Controversy (Paperback)

The Modernist movement has been regarded as representing a crisis
point in Western thought. This volume looks at that crisis in terms
of its reinterpretation of ideas concerning vitalism: the animation
of the universe, whether spiritual or based in physical energies,
of the universe. Beginning with vitalism's historical background in
the enlightenment and the nineteenth century, and moving through
scientific, philosophical and literary disciplines, the
contributors chart the progress of vitalism and its influence on
modernist thought. The focal point is the work of Henri Bergson,
whose part in this powerful reinterpretation had a considerable
bearing on European and American intellectual life, and yet led to
a vehement rejection of his work. A previously untranslated and
little-known essay by Bakhtin will be of special interest in this
stimulating collection, which includes original contributions from
leading scholars in literature, the history of science, biology and
philosophy, and comprises a wide-ranging reassessment of 'the
perpetual crises of modernity'.
