: I don't really know that much about Bergson, but I would love to learn anything that you can tell me about him, wheter it be through posts or through the chat line. E-mail me, or post a response. Got any suggestions on books I could read?

If you are a beginner to Bergson, then try Introduction to
Metaphysics, Mind Energy and Creative Mind to get your feet
wet, so to speak. Then you'll be ready for Creative Evolution,
his greatest book, in my opinion. Go for Time and Free Will
next. If a sociological/theological work is your cup of tea
grab Two Sources of Morality and Religion. Duration and
Simultineity offers a challenge to the Einstienian view of the
universe. Matter & Memory is probably the most difficult of
of Bergson's books, but it makes Heiddeger's Being and Time look
easy. Does that help? By the way, I'm not a philosophy student
or even a college grad, but I am fairly well read. Later!
