BERGSON HENRI: (1859-1941)

BERGSON HENRI: (1859-1941) French philosopher, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1927. A.L.S., H. Bergson, two pages, small 8vo, Paris, 28th November 1910, to [Jean Bourdeau], in French. Bergson thanks Bourdeau for having sent a copy of their book Entre deux Servitudes and continues to remark ' J'avais deja lu la plupart des etudes qui le composent; mais j'ai en grand plaisir a les relive a la suite les unes des autres. Elles s'eclairent et se completent reciproquement; et leur ensemble se resume en une certaine attitude d'esprit bien definie, qui ne me parait pas tres eloignee de l'attitude pragmatique, au meilleur sens du mot; vous jugez les theories - non sans raison, a mon avis - d'apres leur maniere de se comporter dans le champ de l'action' (Translation: 'I had already read most of the studies that make up the book, but it is a great pleasure to read them again, one after the other. They illuminate and complete each other reciprocally; and their whole is summed up in a certain well-defined attitude of mind, which does not seem to me to be very far removed from the pragmatic attitude, in the best sense of the word; you judge theories - not without reason, in my opinion - according to the way they behave in the field of action'). With blank integral leaf. VG Jean Bourdeau (1848-1928) French writer, known for his books on aspects of socialism.
