The Meaning of the War by Henri Bergson Pdf

For those interested in a more philosphical aspect of war, ‘The Meaning of the War’ by Henri Bergson is a short non-fiction work that explores ‘Life & Matter in Conflict’, as the subtitle of the book tells us. A renowned French philosopher, Bergson delves into the history and politics of war, specifically examining Germany during World War I. This book criticizes the ideology that might is right. A policy that has been fatal for regions that neighbour Germany. To further get insight into the philosophical aspect of war, Sigmund Freud's essay ́Reflections on War and Death ́ provides a great perspective on the modern mental state of people during WWI. Henri Bergson was a French philosopher, born in 1859, who criticised his contemporary Kant, and debated Albert Einstein. In 1927, Bergson won the Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his rich and vitalizing ideas and the brilliant skill with which they have been presented".

The Meaning of the War - Life and Matter in Conflict by Henri Bergson,J. Alexander Gunn Pdf

“The Meaning of the War - Life and Matter in Conflict” is a 1915 work within which Henri Bergson explores Germany's policy of 'might is right' as practised by Bismarck, the Prussian empire, and Germany in its long and bloody history of aggression against its neighbours. Contents include: “Life Of Bergson”, “Introduction”, “Life And Matter At War”, and “The Force Which Wastes And That Which Does Not Waste”. Henri-Louis Bergson (1859–1941) was a French-Jewish philosopher. He had a significant influence on the tradition of continental philosophy during the first half of the twentieth century until World War II, and is famous for his idea that immediate experience and intuition are more important than abstract rationalism and science for understanding the nature of reality. In 1927, Bergson received The Nobel Prize in Literature. Other notable works by this author include: “The Philosophy of Poetry: The Genius of Lucretius” (1884), “Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness” (1889), and “Matter and Memory” (1896). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a Chapter From “Bergson And His Philosophy” by J. Alexander Gunn.

The Meaning of the War by Henri Bergson Pdf

This little volume contains the discourse delivered by M. Bergson as President of the Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques at its annual public meeting on December 12, 1914. It is the address which preceded the announcement of the prizes and awards bestowed by the Academy. It is now issued in book form with the consent of the author, and his full appreciation of the object, to give it the widest circulation. Although it is brief, it is a message addressed directly to the heart of our people in the crisis of war. To it is added a short article on the same theme, contributed to the Bulletin des Armees de la Republique, November 4, 1914. It has been said that war, with all its terrible evils, is the occasion of at least one good which humanity values as above price: it inspires great poetry. On the other hand, it seems to crush philosophy. Many may think that in this message it is poetry to which M. Bergson is giving expression. It is, however, from the depth of his philosophy that the inspiration is drawn. The full significance of the doctrines he has been teaching, and their whole moral and political bearing, are brought into clear light, focussed, as it were, on the actual present struggle. Yet is there no word that breathes hatred to any person or to any race. It is by the triumph of a spiritual principle that philosophy may hope to free humanity from the oppression of a materialist doctrine.
