CHAPTER XII

REFLECTIONS

Bergson not systematic--His style--Difficult to classify--Empirical

and spiritual--Value of his ideas on Change, the nature of Mind, of

Freedom--Difficulties in his evolutionary theory--Ethical lack--Need

for supplement-Emphasis on Will, Creativeness, Human Progress and

Possibilities.

In concluding this study of Bergson's philosophy, it remains to sum up

and to review its general merits and deficiencies. We must remember, in

fairness to Bergson, that he does not profess to offer us A SYSTEM of

philosophy. In fact, if he were to do so, he would involve himself in a

grave inconsistency, for his thought is not of the systematic type. He

is opposed to the work of those individual thinkers who have offered

"systems" to the world, rounded and professedly complete constructions,

labelled, one might almost say, "the last word in Philosophy." Bergson

does not claim that his thought is final. His ideal, of which he speaks

in his lectures on La Perception du Changement--that excellent summary

of his thought--is a progressive philosophy to which each thinker shall

contribute. If we feel disappointed that Bergson has not gone further or

done more by attempting a solution of some of the fundamental problems

of our human experience, upon which he has not touched, then we must

recollect his own view of the philosophy he is seeking to expound. All

thinking minds must contribute their quota. A philosophy such as he

wishes to promote by establishing a method by his own works will not

be made in a day. "Unlike the philosophical systems properly so called,

each of which was the individual work of a man of genius, and sprang

up as a whole to be taken or left, it will only be built up by the

collective and progressive effort of many thinkers, of many observers

also, completing, correcting, and improving one another." [Footnote:

Introduction to Creative Evolution, p. xiv. (Fr. p. vii).] Both science

and the older kind of metaphysics have kept aloof from the vital

problems of our lives. In one of his curious but brilliant metaphors

Bergson likens Life to a river over which the scientists have

constructed an elaborate bridge, while the laborious metaphysicians

have toiled to build a tunnel underneath. Neither group of workers has

attempted to plunge into the flowing tide itself. In the most brilliant

of his short papers: L'Intuition philosophique, he makes an energetic

appeal that philosophy should approach more closely to practical life.

His thought aims at setting forth, not any system of knowledge, but

rather a method of philosophizing; in a phrase, this method amounts to

the assertion that Life is more than Logic, or, as Byron put it, "The

tree of Knowledge is not the tree of Life."

It is because Bergson has much to say that is novel and opposed to older

conceptions that a certain lack of proportion occasionally mars his

thought; for he--naturally enough--frequently lays little emphasis on

important points which he considers are sufficiently familiar, in order

to give prominent place and emphasis to some more novel point. Herein

lies, it would now appear, the explanation of the seeming disharmony

between Intuition and Intellect which was gravely distressing to many in

his earlier writing on the subject. Later works, however, make a point

of restoring this harmony, but, as William James has remarked: "We

are so subject to the philosophical tradition which treats logos, or

discursive thought generally, as the sole avenue to truth, that to fall

back on raw, unverbalized life, as more of a revealer, and to think of

concepts as the merely practical things which Bergson calls them, comes

very hard. It is putting off our proud maturity of mind and becoming

again as foolish little children in the eyes of reason. But, difficult

as such a revolution is, there is no other way, I believe, to

the possession of reality." [Footnote: Lecture on Bergson and his

anti-intellectualism, in A Pluralistic Universe. It may be remarked

here that, although James hailed Bergson as an ally, Bergson cannot

be classed as a pragmatist. His great assertion is that just because

intellect is pragmatic it does not help us to get a vision of reality.

Cf. the interesting work on William James and Henri Bergson, by W. H.

Kallen.]

Bergson's style of writing merits high praise. He is no "dry"

philosopher; he is highly imaginative and picturesque; many of his

passages might be styled, like those of Macaulay, "purple," for at times

he rises to a high pitch of feeling and oratory. Yet this has been urged

against him by some critics. The ironic remark has been repeated, in

regard to Bergson, which was originally made of William James, by Dr.

Schiller, that his work was "so lacking in the familiar philosophic

catch-words, that it may be doubted whether any professor has

quite understood it." There is in his works a beauty of style and a

comparative absence of technical terms which have contributed much to

his popularity. The criticism directed against his poetic style, accuses

him of hypnotizing us by his fine language, of employing metaphors where

we expect facts, and of substituting illustrations for proof. Sir Ray

Lankester says: "He has exceeded the limits of fantastic speculation

which it is customary to tolerate on the stage of metaphysics, and has

carried his methods into the arena of sober science." [Footnote: In the

preface to Elliot's volume, Modern Science and the Illusions of Bergson,

p. xvii.] Another critic remarks that "as far as Creative Evolution is

concerned, his writing is neither philosophy nor science." [Footnote:

McCabe: Principles of Evolution, p. 254.] Certainly his language

is charming; it called forth from William James the remark that it

resembled fine silk underwear, clinging to the shape of the body, so

well did it fit his thought. But it does not seem a fair criticism

to allege that he substitutes metaphor for proof, for we find, on

examination of his numerous and striking metaphors, that they are

employed in order to give relief from continuous abstract statements. He

does not submit analogies as proof, but in illustration of his points.

For example, when he likens the elan vital to a stream, he does not

suggest that because the stream manifests certain characteristics,

therefore the life force does so too. Certainly that would be a highly

illegitimate proceeding. But he simply puts forward this to help us to

grasp by our imaginative faculty what he is striving to make clear. Some

critics are apt to forget the tense striving which must be involved in

any highly philosophical mind dealing with deep problems, to achieve

expression, to obtain a suitable vehicle for the thought--what wrestling

of soul may be involved in attempting to make intuitions communicable.

Metaphor is undoubtedly a help and those of Bergson are always striking

and unconventional. Had Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, given more

illustrations, many of his readers would have been more enlightened.

Bergson's thought, although in many respects it is strikingly original

and novel, is, nevertheless, the continuation, if not the culmination,

of a movement in French philosophy which we can trace back through

Boutroux, Guyau, Lachelier and Ravaisson to Maine de Biran, who died in

1824. Qui sait, wrote this last thinker, [Footnote: In his Pensees, p.

213.] tout ce que peut la reflection concentree et s'il n'y a pas un

nouveau monde interieur qui pourra etre decouvert un jour par quelque

Colomb metaphysicien.

Many of the ideas contained in Bergson's work find parallels in the

philosophy of Schopenhauer, as given in his work The World as Will and

Idea (Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung), particularly his Voluntarism

and his Intuitionism. The German thinker regarded all great scientific

discoveries as an immediate intuition, a flash of insight, not simply

the result of a process of abstract reasoning. Schelling also maintained

a doctrine of intuition as supra-rational.

Ravaisson, [Footnote: Ravaisson (1813-1900) wrote De l'habitude, 1832;

La metaphysique d'Aristote, 1837; and his Rapport sur la philosophie en

France au xix siecle, 1867. See Bergson's Memoir, 1904.] to whom Bergson

is indebted for much inspiration, attended the lectures of Schelling

at Munich in 1835. This French thinker, Ravaisson, has had an important

influence on the general development of thought in France during the

latter half of the last century, and much of his work foreshadows

Bergson's thought. He upheld a spiritual activity, manifesting itself

most clearly in love and art, while he allowed to matter, to mathematics

and logic only an imperfect reality. He extolled synthetic views of

reality rather than analytic ones. We are prevented, he said, from

realizing our true selves because of our slavery to habit. To the

ultimate reality, or God, we can attain because of our kinship with that

reality, and by an effort of loving sympathy enter into union with it

by an intuition which lies beyond and above the power of intellectual

searching. As Maine de Biran foretold the coming of a metaphysical

Columbus, so Ravaisson, in his famous Rapport sur la philosophic en

France au xix siecle, published in 1867, prophesied as follows: "Many

signs permit us to foresee in the near future a philosophical epoch

of which the general character will be the predominance of what may

be called spiritualistic realism or positivism, having as generating

principle the consciousness which the mind has of itself of an existence

recognized as being the source and support of every other existence,

being none other than its action."

Lachelier, a disciple of Ravaisson, brought out--as has been already

remarked [Footnote: Page 3.]--the significance of the operations of

vital forces and of liberty. Guyau, whose brief life ended in 1888

and whose posthumous work La Genese de I'Idee de Temps was reviewed by

Bergson two years after the publication of his own Time and Free

Will, laid great stress on the intensification and expansion of life.

Boutroux, in his work, has insisted upon the fact of contingency.

These forecasts of Bergson's thought made by men to whom he owes much

and for whom he personally has the greatest admiration are interesting,

but we are not yet able to look upon his work through the medium of

historical perspective. We can however see it as the culmination of

various tendencies in modern French philosophy; first, the effort to

bring philosophy into the open air of human nature, into immediate

contact with life and with problems vital to humanity; secondly, the

upholding of contingency in all things, thus ensuring human freedom;

thirdly, a disparagement of purely intellectual constructions as

true interpretations of human life and all existence, coupled with an

insistence on an insight that transcends logical formulation.

As a thinker, Bergson is very difficult to classify. "All classification

of philosophies is effected, as a rule, either by their methods or

by their results, 'empirical' and 'a priori' is a classification by

methods; 'realist' and 'idealist' is a classification by results. An

attempt to classify Bergson's philosophy, in either of these ways, is

hardly likely to be successful, since it cuts across all the recognized

divisions." [Footnote: Mr. Bertrand Russell's remark at the opening of

his Lecture on The Philosophy of Bergson, before The Heretics, Trinity

College, Cambridge, March 11, 1912.] We find that Bergson cannot be

put in any of the old classes or schools, or identified with any of the

innumerable isms. He brings together, without being eclectic, action and

reflection, free will and determinism, motion and rest, intellect and

intuition, subjectivity and externality, idealism and realism, in a

most unconventional way. His whole philosophy is destructive of a large

amount of the "vested interests" of philosophy. "We are watching the

rise of a new agnosticism," remarked Dr. Bosanquet. A similar remark

came from one of Bergson's own countrymen, Alfred Fouillee, who, in his

work Le Mouvement idealist et la reaction contre la science positive,

expressed the opinion that Bergson's philosophy could but issue in le

scepticisme et le nihilisme (p. 206). Bergson runs counter to so many

established views that his thought has raised very wide and animated

discussions. The list of English and American articles in the

Bibliography appended to the present work shows this at a glance. In his

preface to the volume on Gabriel Tarde, his predecessor in the chair

of Modern Philosophy at the College de France, written in 1909, we find

Bergson remarking: On mesure la portee d'une doctrine philosophique a la

variete des idees ou elle s'epanouit et a la symplicite du principe ou

elle se ramasse. This remark may serve us as a criterion in surveying

his own work. The preceding exposition of his thought is a sufficient

indication of the wealth of ideas expressed. Bergson is most suggestive.

Moreover, no philosopher has been so steeped in the knowledge of both

Mind and Matter, no thinker has been at once so "empirical" and so

"spiritual." His thought ranges from subtle psychological analyses and

minute biological facts to the work of artists and poets, all-embracing

in its attempt to portray Life and make manifest to us the reality of

Time and of Change. His insistence on Change is directed to showing that

it is the supreme reality, and on Time to demonstrating that it is

the stuff of which things are made. He is right in attacking the false

conception of Time, and putting before us la duree as more real; right,

too, in attacking the notion of empty eternity. But although Change and

Development may be the fundamental feature of reality, Bergson does not

convincingly show that it is literally THE Reality, nor do we think

that this can be shown. He does not admit that there is any THING that

changes or endures; he is the modern Heraclitus; all teaching which

savours of the Parmenidean "one" he opposes. Yet it would seem that

these two old conceptions may be capable of a reconciliation and that

if all reality is change, there is a complementary principle that Change

implies something permanent.

Then, again, we feel Bergson is right in exposing the errors which the

"idea of the line," the trespassing of space, causes; but he comes very

near to denying, in his statements regarding duree pure, any knowledge

of the past as past; he overlooks the decisive difference between the

"no more" and the "not yet" feeling of the child's consciousness, which

is the germ of our clear knowledge of the past as past, and distinct

from the future.

To take another of his "pure" distinctions, we cannot see any necessity

for his formulation of what he terms "Pure Perception." Not only does

it obscure the relation of Sensation to Perception, but it seems to be

quite unknown and unknowable and unnecessary as an hypothesis. As to his

"Pure" Memory, there is more to be said. It stands on a different plane

and seems to be the statement of a very profound truth which sheds light

on many difficult problems attaching to personality and consciousness,

for it is the conservation of memories which is the central point in

individuality. His distinction between the habit of repeating and the

"pure" memory is a very good and very necessary one. In his study of

the relation of Soul and Body, we find some of his most meritorious

work--his insistence on the uniqueness of Mind and the futility of

attempts to reduce it to material terms. His treatment of this question

is parallel to that of William James in the first part of his Ingersoll

Lecture at Harvard in 1898, when he called attention to "permissive"

or "transmissive" function of the brain. Bergson's criticisms of

Parallelism are very valuable.

No less so are his refutations of both physical and psychological

Determinism. Men were growing impatient of a science claiming so

much and yet admittedly unable to explain the really vital factors of

existence, of which the free action of men is one of the most important.

The value placed on human freedom, on the creative power of human beings

to mould the future, links Bergson again with James, and it is this

humanism which is the supremely valuable factor in the philosophies of

both thinkers. This has been pointed out in the consideration of

the ethical and political implications of Bergson's Philosophy.

Nevertheless, although his insistence on Freedom and Creative Evolution

implies that we are to realize that by our choices and our free acts we

may make or mar the issue, and that through us and by us that issue may

be turned to good, the good of ourselves and of our fellows, there is

an ethical lack in Bergson's philosophy which is disappointing. Then,

as has been remarked in the chapter on Religion, there is the lack of

teleology in his conception of the Universe; his denial of ANY purpose

hardly seems to be in harmony with his use of the phrase "the meaning of

life."

Much in Bergson would point to the need for the addition of a philosophy

of Values. This, however, he does not give us. He shirks the deeper

problems of the moral and spiritual life of man. He undervalues,

indeed ignores, the influence of transcendent ideas or ideals on the

life-history of mankind. The study of these might have led him to admit

a teleology of some kind; for "in the thinking consciousness the order

of growth is largely determined by choice; and choice is guided by

valuation. We are, in general, only partially aware of the ends that we

pursue. But we are more and more seeking to attain what is good, true

and beautiful, and the order of human life becomes more and more guided

by the consciousness of these ends." [Footnote: Professor Mackenzie:

Elements of Constructive Philosophy, p. 111.] Bergson, however, will not

ultimately be able to evade the work of attempting some reconciliation

of moral ideas and ideals with their crude and animal origins and

environment, to which they are so opposed and to which they are actually

offering a very strong opposition. That he himself has seen this is

proved by the attention he is now giving to the problems of social

Ethics.

There are four problems which confront every evolutionary theory. These

concern the origin of: Matter, Life, Consciousness, and Conscience.

Bergson finds it very difficult to account for the origin of Matter, and

it is not clear from what he says why the original consciousness should

have made Matter and then be obliged to fight against it in order to

be free. Then, in speaking of the law of Thermodynamics, he says: "Any

material system which should store energy by arresting its degradation

to some lower level, and produce effects by its sudden liberation, would

exhibit something in the nature of Life." This, however, is not

very precise, for this would hold true of thunder-clouds and of many

machines. In regard to Instinct, it has been pointed out by several

experts that Instinct is not so infallible as Bergson makes out. Of the

mistakes of Instinct he says little. Dr. McDougall in his great work

Body and Mind says, when speaking of Bergson's doctrine of Evolution:

"Its recognition of the continuity of all Life is the great merit of

Professor Bergson's theory of Creative Evolution; its failure to give

any intelligible account of individuality is its greatest defect.

I venture to think," he continues, "that the most urgent problem

confronting the philosophic biologist is the construction of a theory of

life which will harmonize the facts of individuality with the appearance

of the continuity of all life, with the theory of progressive evolution,

and with the facts of heredity and biparental reproduction." [Footnote:

McDougall, Body and Mind, Footnote to p. 377.]

In the light of such criticism it is important to note that Bergson is

now giving attention to the problem of personality which he made the

subject of his Gifford Lectures. It is a highly important problem for

humanity, and concentration on it seems the demand of the times upon

those who feel the urgent need of reflection and who have the ability

to philosophize. Can philosophy offer any adequate explanation of human

personality, its place and purpose in the cosmos? Why should individual

systems of energy, little worlds within the world, appear inside the

unity of the whole, depending on their environment, physical and mental,

for much, but yet capable of freedom and unforeseen actions, and

of creative and progressive development? Further, why should ideals

concentrate themselves as it were round such unique centres of

indeterminateness as these are? On these problems of our origin and

destiny, in short, on an investigation of human personality, thinkers

must concentrate. Humanity will not be satisfied with systems which

leave no room for the human soul. Human personality and its experience

must have ample place and recognition in any philosophy put forward in

these days.

Bergson's work is a magnificent attempt to show us how, in the words

of George Meredith: "Men have come out of brutishness." His theory

of evolution is separated from Naturalism by his insistence on human

freedom and on the supra-consciousness which is the origin of things;

on the other hand, he is separated from the Idealists by his insistence

upon the reality of la duree. He contrasts profoundly with Absolute

Idealism. While in Hegel, Mind is the only truth of Nature, in Bergson,

Life is the only truth of Matter, or we may express it--whereas for

Hegel the truth of Reality is its ideality, for Bergson the truth of

Reality is its vitality.

The need for philosophical thought, as Bergson himself points out,

[Footnote: See the closing remarks in his little work on French

philosophy, La Philosophie.] is world-wide. Philosophy aims at bringing

all discussion, even that of business affairs, on to the plane of ideas

and principles. By looking at things from a truly "general" standpoint

we are frequently helped to approach them in a really "generous" frame

of mind, for there is an intimate connexion between the large mind and

the large heart.

Bergson has rendered valuable service in calling attention to the need

for man to examine carefully his own inner nature, and the deepest worth

and significance of his own experiences. For the practical purposes of

life, man is obliged to deal with objects in space, and to learn their

relations to one another. But this does not exhaust the possibilities

of his nature. He has himself the reality of his own self-consciousness,

his own spiritual existence to consider. Consequently, he can never rest

satisfied with any purely naturalistic interpretation of himself. The

step of realizing the importance of mental constructions to interpret

the impressions of the external world, and the applying them to

practical needs, was a great advance. Much greater progress, however, is

there in man's realization of qualities within himself which transcend

the ordinary dead level of experience, the recognition of the spiritual

value of his own nature, of himself as a personality, capable even amid

the fluctuations of the world about him, and the illusions of sense

impressions, of obtaining a foretaste of eternity by a life that has the

infinite and the eternal as its inheritance; "He hath set eternity

in the heart of man." Man craves other values in life than the purely

scientific. "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt

of" in the philosophies of the materialist or the naturalist. Bergson

assures us that the future belongs to a philosophy which will take into

account THE WHOLE of what is given. Transcending Body and Intellect is

the life of the Spirit, with needs beyond either bodily satisfaction

or intellectual needs craving its development, satisfaction and fuller

realization. The man who seeks merely bodily satisfaction lives the life

of the animal; even the man who poses as an intellectual finds himself

entangled ultimately in relativity, missing the uniqueness of all

things--his own life included. An intuitive philosophy introduces us

to the spiritual life and makes us conscious, individually and

collectively, of our capacities for development. Humanity may say: "It

doth not yet appear what we shall be," for man has yet "something to

cast off and something to become."

BIBLIOGRAPHY

A NOTE ON BIBLIOGRAPHIES

The books and articles which have appeared,

dealing with Bergson's thought, are truly

legion. Three bibliographies have already

been compiled, one in each of the countries: England,

America and Germany, which are of value and merit

attention.

In 1910, Mr. F. L. Pogson, M.A., prefixed to Time

and Free Will (the English translation of the Essai sur

les donnees immediates de la conscience) a comprehensive

bibliography, giving a list of Bergson's own

published works, and numerous articles contributed

to various periodicals, and in addition, lists of articles

in English, American, French, German and other

foreign reviews upon Bergson's philosophy. This

bibliography was partly reprinted in France two years

later as an appendix to the little work on Bergson by

M. Joseph Desaymard, La Pensee de Henri Bergson

(Paris, Mercure de France, pp. 82, 1912).

Then in 1913, when Bergson paid his visit to America,

Mr. W. Dawson Johnston, the Librarian of the

Columbia University, New York, presented him with

a copy of a little work of fifty-six pages entitled A

Contribution to a Bibliography of Henri Bergson. This

exhaustive work was prepared under the direction of

Miss Isadore G. Mudge, the Reference Librarian, and

includes all books published and all periodical literature

of value by or on Bergson, complete up to 1913.

"The bibliography includes" (to quote the Preface)

"90 books and articles by Professor Bergson (including

translations of his works), and 417 books and articles

about him. These 417 items represent 11 different

languages divided as follows: French, 170; English,

159; German, 40; Italian, 19; Polish, 5; Dutch, 3;

Spanish, 3; Roumanian, 2; Swedish, 2; Russian, 2;

Hungarian, 1." For this work Professor John Dewey

wrote an introduction. It was published by the

Columbia University Press in 1913, and is the best

evidence of the world-wide popularity of Bergson and

the international interest aroused by his writings.

A more recent compilation, however, which contains

later books and articles, is a German one,

which appeared during the war. It is the work of

Walter Meckauer and forms a valuable part of his book

Der Intuitionismus und seine Elemente bei Henri Bergson,

published in Leipsig in 1917 (Verlag Felix Meiner).

The bibliography which follows gives more up-to-date

lists of works than those mentioned, bringing the

list of Bergson's writings up to 1919, and it includes

books and articles on Bergson which have appeared

in the current year (1920). All the important books in

French, English, or German on Bergson are given.

As the present work is designed mainly to meet the

needs of English readers, lists of foreign articles are

not given, but in order to show the wide interest

aroused by Bergson's thought in the English speaking

world, and for purposes of reference, a comprehensive

list of articles which have appeared in English and

American periodicals is appended. Finally, a list of

the English Translations of Bergson's works is given

in full under their publishers' names.

1910 NEW INTRODUCTION WRITTEN IN ENGLISH FOR

THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MATIERE

ET MEMOIRE.

This new introduction was subsequently translated

into French and prefaced to the next French edition of

Matiere et Memoire which appeared. This was the

seventh edition. The English translation by Nancy

Margaret Paul and W. Scott Palmer was published in

1911 (see note under date 1896).

The new introduction called attention mainly to the

change in orthodox opinion regarding aphasia which

had come about since the original publication of the

work in French in 1896--a change of view which only

served to make Bergson's opinions appear less novel and

more probable.
