Henri Bergson on Philosophy - Dictionary of Arguments
Sokal I 206 Philosophy/Bergson/Bricmont/Sokal: RussellVsBergson(1): One of the negative effects of an anti-mind philosophy like Bergson's is that it finds a particularly favourable breeding ground in errors and confused views of intellect. ... Bergson's writings contain numerous references to mathematics and the natural sciences, which in the eyes of an unbiased reader may give particular weight to his philosophy. ... In his interpretation of mathematics, however, he has deliberately given preference to traditional errors over the more modern views that have prevailed among mathematicians in the last eighty years. >Mathematics/Bergson, >Mathematics, >Physics, >Theory of Relativity. For the correct use of the concepts of physics see >Sokal. and >Feynman. 1. B. Russell, Philosophie des Abendlandes, Frankfurt/M. 1950, p. 663f._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
