= H.L. Bergson (1859-1941), important philosopher, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. "Bergson's philosophy offers a new interpretation of four main ideas: time, freedom, memory, and evolution. These ideas are construed so as to produce a doctrine that is opposed to materialism as well as to mechanistic and deterministic theories of living things. (...) Bergson's interest in science was shown not only by his discussion of biology but also by his discussion of physics. This subject is treated in Durée et simultanéité (...). Here, as in the case of evolution, Bergson sought to demonstrate how philosophy can supplement science by providing a more adequate account of phenomena (...)" DSB II, p.8ff.
