Bergson for Beginners: A Summary of His Philosophy

“Although it is mainly a simplified summary, at once clear and faithful, of Bergson's chief writings, this is done in a manner that enables the student to obtain a most valuable résumé of the argument of each. The space given to Time and Free Will is perhaps somewhat disproportionate, even in view of its importance as propounding the fundamental ideas that are developed in the subsequent works, but it gives the reader a good start, and he thereby grasps more readily the more condensed arguments that follow. The Introduction gives an interesting and able account of the central problems of modern philosophy as leading up to Bergson's position. It should be mentioned here that this book has already gone into a second edition, containing some additional matter, and a letter from M. Bergson recommending the summary and exposition that are given.”
