I. Mr Bergson’s Work and the General Directions of Contemporary Thought.

by LovelyMay — Reflecting on the profound influence of Henri Bergson's philosophy, this chapter emphasizes how Bergson's work signifies a pivotal moment in the course of human thought, particularly with regards to religion and the interpretation of life and reality.
