| Summary |
"La philosophie de M. Bergson" by Albert Farges is a critical exposition of Henri Bergson's philosophical theories, written in the early 20th century. This work scrutinizes Bergson's ideas on time, freedom, and the dynamic nature of existence, contrasting them with traditional philosophical views. Farges aims to dissect and critique the substance of Bergson's metaphysical principles, making the case for classical philosophy's supremacy in understanding complex ideas such as the human soul, morality, and the concept of God. The opening portion of the text introduces the reader to the dual nature of Bergson's philosophy, consisting of abstract theories and their practical consequences, which challenge established philosophical doctrines. Farges expresses concern over the complexity and obscurity of Bergson's arguments, suggesting that they leave many readers—regardless of their intellectual capacity—feeling lost. The author positions himself as a guide for the uninitiated, aiming to clarify the core tenets of Bergson's thought while emphasizing the importance of returning to traditional philosophical understanding for those seeking solid foundations amidst the confusion of modern ideas.
