Henri Bergson

"JankÉlÉvitch's intransigent 'Bergsonism'- his faith in intuition and his distrust in contextualization - produced his marvelous Henri Bergson." - Giuseppe Bianco (H-France, H-Net Reviews) "JankÉlÉvitch's Henri Bergson is richly textured with reflections and digressions which sketch in embryonic form conceptual figures that would gain prominence in his later ethical writings. JankÉlÉvitch's book is thus not so much about Bergson, as it is a book through Bergson, and its two-stroke motion of understanding Bergson and of JankÉlÉvitch understanding himself is animated by a joy that gives JankÉlÉvitch's philosophical prose (finely translated by Nils F. Schott) an almost breathless quality." - Nicolas de Warren (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
