Bergson, Politics, and Religion Hardback
Edited by Alexandre Lefebvre, Melanie White
Hardback
Description
Henri Bergson is primarily known for his work on time, memory, and creativity.
His equally innovative interventions into politics and religion have, however, been neglected or dismissed until now.
In the first book in English dedicated to Bergson as a political thinker, leading Bergson scholars illuminate his positions on core concerns within political philosophy: the significance of emotion in moral judgment, the relationship between biology and society, and the entanglement of politics and religion.
Ranging across Bergson's writings but drawing mainly on his last book, The Two Sources of Morality and Religion, the contributors consider Bergson's relevance to contemporary discussions of human rights, democratic pluralism, and environmental ethics.Contributors.
