"Bergson and His Philosophy" by John Alexander Gunn is a philosophical introduction written in the early 20th century. The book explores the ideas of Henri Bergson, a prominent French philosopher known for his thoughts on time, change, and consciousness. It aims to provide readers—both casual and academic—insights into Bergson's significant contributions to philosophy, particularly highlighting his key works and the evolution of his ideas throughout his life. The opening of the book provides a detailed overview of Bergson's life and early education, outlining his journey from a promising student to a respected professor at the College de France. It discusses his pivotal works, such as "Time and Free Will," "Matter and Memory," and "Creative Evolution," emphasizing the profound impact these texts had on philosophical thought and the public’s response to his ideas. Through a chronological account of his academic and personal milestones, Gunn sets the stage for a deeper examination of Bergson's innovative philosophy, particularly regarding the concepts of time, memory, and the essential nature of change.
