: : : Finally, at long last, there is a server sympathetic
: : : to the thoughts of the great French vitalist, Henri
: : : Bergson! I have read all of his major works and love
: : : to discuss him. I am a writer of fiction and poetry
: : : and Bergson's vivid sense of metaphor suits me well.
: : : You'll know me in the live Bergson chat area under the
: : : nick "Wordsmith". Let's go!
: : 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!
Oops! In the above paragraph I goofed. I didn't
mean to say Being & Time is easy. I meant to say
compared to B&T Matter & Memory is easy. Duh!
