"Bergson's resources in the way of erudition are remark- 

 able, and in the way of expression they are simply phe- 

 nomenal. ... If anything can make hard things easy to 

 follow it is a style like Bergson's. It is a miracle and he 

 a real magician. Open Bergson and new horizons open 

 on every page you read. It tells of reality itself instead 

 of reiterating what dusty-minded professors have written 

 about what other previous professors have thought. Nothing 

 in Bergson is shopworn or at second-hand." William James. 

 "A distinctive and trenchant piece of dialectic. . . . Than 

 its entrance upon the field as a well-armed and militant 

 philosophy there have been not many more memorable occur- 

 ences in the history of ideas." Na lion. 



"To bring out in an adequate manner the effect which 

 Bergson's philsophy has on those who are attracted by i 

 let us try to imagine what it would have been like to have 

 lived when Kant produced his 'Critique of Pure Reason.' " 

 Hibbert Journal. 



"Creative Evolution is destined, I believe, to mark an 

 epoch in the history of modern thought. The work has it 

 root in modern physical science, but it blooms and bears 

 fruit in the spirit to a degree quite unprecedented. . . . 

 Bergson is a new star in the intellectual firmament of 

 dav He is a philosopher upon whom the spirits of 

 literature and science have descended. In his great work 

 he touches the materialism of science to finer issues^ Pro* 

 ably no other writer of our time has possessed 

 measure the three gifts, the literary, the scientific, and the 

 phio'phical. Bergson is a kind of Chastened and spin
