"1919 saw the publication of Bergson's Mind Energy, a collection of essays concerned with metaphysical and psychological problems. During the same year he retired from his teaching duties. However, in 1922, Bergson was appointed president of the International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation — the precursor to UNESCO. There, Bergson participated in a debate with Einstein, which, according to Merleau-Ponty, seems to testify to a “crisis of reason.” Bergson publishes his reflections on Einstein as Duration and Simultaneity (see Mélanges, 1972). Despite Bergson's claim that the mathematics in Duration and Simultaneity is insufficient, this book is important because in it Bergson re-orients Riemann's idea of mutliplicity, which had been the basis of Einstein's theory (Deleuze, 1991, pp. 39-40, and, also see below, "The Concept of Multiplicity")."
There is a lot to learn about Henri
Bergson and sure more to be found
Bergson was one of the philosophers
who had a big impact
on Henry Miller
I think Miller
saw him
speak when he was in the States
In any event Henry Miller
speaks of his work with great enthusaism and elan
in many of his books ~
