Henri Bergson

Forfatterbiografi

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) var en fransk filosof, kendt for at udvikle en teori om tid og forandringsprocesser, især under betegnelsen durée. Han blev født i Paris og fik sin uddannelse ved Lycée Condorcet og École Normale Supérieure, hvor han studerede filosofi. Bergson virkede som forelæser og underviser og fik senere en central position i fransk åndsliv, blandt andet gennem sin række af forelæsninger og sine essays og bøger, der formede store dele af det 20. århundredes debat om bevidsthed, erkendelse og evolution. Som forfatter står han særligt som en stilskabende tænker inden for filosofi og litterær idéhistorie, og hans værker har fået stor udbredelse gennem oversættelser. Et af hans mest omtalte bidrag er Creative Evolution, udgivet i 1907, som arbejder med evolution som en skabende proces. Blandt hans øvrige hovedværker tælles bl.a. Time and Free Will og Matter and Memory. Bergson modtog i 1927 Nobelprisen i litteratur som anerkendelse for sine “rige og livgivende ideer” og den formidlingsmæssige kvalitet, hvormed de blev præsenteret. Hans betydning for litteraturen ligger i samspillet mellem filosofisk argumentation og stil, samt i at han gjorde centrale spørgsmål om tid, oplevelse og forandring til genstand for bredere kulturel læsning.
