Henri Bergson citáty

Henri Bergson bol francúzsky filozof, predstaviteľ intuitivizmu a filozofie života. V Bergsonovom myslení sú živé najmä motívy Platónovej filozofie, neskorého Schellinga, Schopenhauera a samozrejme francúzska filozofická tradícia. Základným pojmom Bergsonovej filozofie je pojem čistého, nehmotného plynutia ako prvopočiatku všetkého jestvujúceho. Hmota, čas, pohyb sú rozličnými formami prejavu tohto pôvodného plynutia. Poznanie plynutia je prístupné iba intuícii, čiže aktu poznania zhodného s aktom, ktorým sa rodí skutočnosť. Na evolučnom procese akcentuje Bergson jeho tvorivostnú stránku a interpretuje ju vitalisticky.

Skutočnosť je podľa Bergsona tvorivý proces, ktorý v každom novom časovom okamihu prináša novosť, nevymedziteľnú a nepochopiteľnú z minulých skúseností a daností. Wikipedia

Henri Bergson: Citáty v angličtine

“I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.”

Henri Bergson kniha An Introduction to Metaphysics

An Introduction to Metaphysics (1903), translated by T. E. Hulme. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1912, p. 44

“The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”

Robertson Davies as quoted in The White Bedouin‎ (2007) by George Potter, p. 241

“This explains the primary mission which he feels to be entrusted to him, that of an intensifier of religious faith.”

Henri Bergson kniha The Two Sources of Morality and Religion

Zdroj: The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932), Chapter III : Dynamic Religion
Kontext: Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science. What the mystic finds waiting for him, then, is a humanity which has been prepared to listen to his message by other mystics invisible and present in the religion which is actually taught. Indeed his mysticism itself is imbued with this religion, for such was its starting point. His theology will generally conform to that of the theologians. His intelligence and his imagination will use the teachings of the theologians to express in words what he experiences, and in material images what he sees spiritually. And this he can do easily, since theology has tapped that very current whose source is the mystical. Thus his mysticism is served by religion, against the day when religion becomes enriched by his mysticism. This explains the primary mission which he feels to be entrusted to him, that of an intensifier of religious faith.

“Men do not sufficiently realise that their future is in their own hands.”

Henri Bergson kniha The Two Sources of Morality and Religion

Concluding sentences <!-- University of Notre Dame Press, 2002, p. 317 --> ; often just the last part of the last sentence is quoted, in the form: "The universe is a machine for making gods."
The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932)
Kontext: Men do not sufficiently realise that their future is in their own hands. Theirs is the task of determining first of all whether they want to go on living or not. Theirs is the responsibility, then, for deciding if they want merely to live, or intend to make just the extra effort required for fulfilling, even on their refractory planet, the essential function of the universe, which is a machine for the making of gods (la fonction essentielle de l'universe, qui est une machine à faire des dieux).

“Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.”

“A philosopher worthy of the name has never said more than a single thing: and even then it is something he has tried to say, rather than actually said. And he has said only one thing because he has seen only one point: and at that it was not so much a vision as a contact…”

Henri Bergson kniha An Introduction to Metaphysics

Un philosophe digne de ce nom n'a jamais dit qu'une seule chose : encore a-t-il plutôt cherché à la dire qu'il ne l'a dite véritablement. Et il n'a dit qu'une seule chose parce qu'il n'a su qu'un seul point : encore fut-ce moins une vision qu'un contact...
