Excerpt from Bergson It is true we cannot observe and estimate these views as our posterity will. It is given to no philosopher - and on Bergson's principles we should not expect it to be given - to see the ultimate upshot of his work.

Such a leader none who have studied him can doubt Bergson to be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
