Henri Bergson

<div>Appearing here in English for the first time Vladimir Jankélévitch's <i>Henri Bergson</i> is one of the two great commentaries written on Henri Bergson. Gilles Deleuze's <i>Bergsonism</i> renewed interest in the great French philosopher but failed to consider Bergson's experiential and religious perspectives. Here Jankélévitch covers all aspects of Bergson's thought emphasizing the concepts of time and duration memory evolution simplicity love and joy. A friend of Bergson's Jankélévitch first published this book in 1931 and revised it in 1959 to treat Bergson's later works. This unabridged translation of the 1959 edition includes an editor's introduction which contextualizes and outlines Jankélévitch's reading of Bergson additional essays on Bergson by Jankélévitch and Bergson's letters to Jankélévitch.<br></div>
