about the riddle of life, yet, in almost
all instances, were their names scarce
ly heard in their own age.
What is then the secret of this
mans hold on his generation?
The answer must be sought in the
mentality of the generation which
preceded him-the mentality of nine
teenth century Europe and America.
The Nineteenth Century Mind
The nineteenth century mind was
unique. Hegel, Kant, and Schopen-
hauer wrote voluminous tones at the
end of which they came to the con-
clusion that nothing was known, and
that nothing could be known. The
only thing one could be reasonably
certain of was that life and things
were not at all what they appeared
to be.
They were the idealists Of the CEN
fury.
On the other hand, Auguste Comte
in France and Lester F. Ward in
America showed that everything
could be known; but almost every
thing but science that was. so far
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-09-22

known, was not so. They were the
skeptics of the age.
In England, the teachings of OAR
win as formulated by Huxley and
Spenser showed that it was impossi-
BILE to know whether one could or
could not know. They represented the
agnostics of the century.
AS an upshot men began to feel
that life was an immense cosmic trag-
edy, demanding all the courage man
possessed only to keep living. The
delirious rawlings of the Dark Ages
again became current on the tongues
of men: Life was a vale of tears
meaningless, stupid nightmare
fire which consumed without giving
warmth. Omar Kayam became the
favorite poet of the age. The cru
bayiat" became the credo of intel
absorbing topic of discussion-the
meaning of life-became the skeleton
in the closet of the century. None
spoke of it above a whisper.
Intellect took the throne of faith.
The man of science took the place of
the priest of God. Whatever could
be proved geometrically was true and
valid. All things else were false and
harmful. All the simple feelings, all
the emotions sweeping through the
heart of mankind, by which it lives
and in which it has it's being, were
thought beneath an intelligent man
something to be ashamed of-some-
thing to be Stunned in polite society.

CuSlI UOdSC.
In matter and Memory" he tells
us, his object is to prove that both
matter and spirit are definite reali-
ties. He is thus, philosophically,
dualist. He proves his contention and
shows that mind is superior to mat
ter, being part of the Life Force
itself. He is equipped with the latest
discoveries in science, especially bio
logic and mental, as we'll as with a
tremendous amount of original inves-
tigation on which he has spent some
five years.
In 'Time and Free Will" he shows
that the problem of whether human
beings are, as science would conclude,
mechanical objects, the slaves of in
exorable laws; or as the idealists
would have it, free agents, capable
of directing the course of their lives
has been confused by confounding
abstract time with absolute duration,
the time we ordinarily use in our
daily affairs, and duration, which is
the stuff of which living reality is
made. In this book he concludes that
of all living beings, man alone is
free, is capable of being more than
what he is, of surprising himself
because he can will to surpass him
self, to be more than what he is.
Parenthetically it must be re-
marked that these time-honored prob
lens on which philosophers and re-
ligious thinkers have exerted their
utmost energy in all ages, have not
been solved by him conclusively. It
does not require a professional
philosopher to drive a four-horse
team through his conclusions. Any
seasoned thinker may do so. No one
will swallow them whole unless he
chooses. After all, most of our be-
liefs are not founded on reason, but
on some deep-seated emotions which
master reason. Those beliefs which
we cherish most are not SUBJ
ject to proof. They are our very
selves. We use proof only to con-
vince others.
However, the new angles these two
volumes afford on these most battling
of problems are priceless. For it is
not the proofs that philosophy es-
tablishes that really count. 1t is the
process of solving the problems that
count. 1t is not the circus itself that
is so fascinating. It is the side
shows. These are the things that
raise the student of philosophy above
the plane of ordinary human wisdom.
Aside from that, the uninitiated must
be told, all philosophy is a guess.
Bergson's guess happens to be a
beautiful one, with an extraordinary
wide appeal.
The Triumph of All Guesses
His "Creative Evolution" is the
triumph Of all guesses made since
Socrates. In this book he shows
that while the theory of evolution as
formulated by Darwin and his dis
ciples is true, it is not the whole
truth. Evolution, according to him,
is more than the mere development,
marvellously wonderful though it is,
Of simpler types of life into
types more and more complex. It
is a process by which the Life Force
realizes itself as a result of the OBJ
stacles it overcomes while cutting it's
way through inert matter. 1t results
in personality shooting, growing and
ripening, without the least possibility
of foreseeing what it would be the
next moment. Evolution, according
to him. is a creation that never quite

SACi SLAC "AASIC ~ OOCIl III Vic DoI
Ages-Man had reasoned himself out
of existence.
And men began to yearn for a
faith that would assure them that
life was good and beautiful-that the
simple emotions of the heart were the
choicest treasures the world con-
tanned.
The Common Mans Philosopher
1t was at the time when this long
ing reached it's highest intensity that
Bergson appeared; and for the first
time in the history of the human
race, the man in the street found
philosopher equipped with the high
est cultural attainments of the ages,
voicing his feelings. An intellectual
giant was speaking in the accents of
the man in the street. His phil
osophy must necessarily be true-be-
cause it was passionately desired. For
Bergson was proclaiming that the
simple and wholesome feelings of
mankind were far more significant
than the bubbles of philosophers and
the formulas of scientists.
The intellectual world was over
awed by the profoundly of his learn
ing, the cogency of his logic, and the
freshness and newness Of his argu-
ment. There was throb of life it
self.
The Negative Side of Bergsonism
Bergson demands that philosophy
cease being game between philoso-
pliers. To the idealists he points
that "The great error has
been the idea that by isolating the
spiritual life from all the rest by
suspending it in space as high as pos
sible above the earth, they were plac-
ing it beyond attack-as if they were
not thereby simply exposing it to be
taken as an effect of mirage" To
the materialist he points that intel
lect is only a tool perfected by life
by which life seeks to promote it's well
fare. Therefore intellect could not
possibly set itself up as final judge
and arbiter of life itself. Thought,
he argues, in it's purely logical form,
is incapable of presenting the true
nature Of life; for it is only created
by life-an aspect and emanation of
life; how then could it ever embrace
life? He shows that eff one held
oneself to the letter of what philo-
sophers and scholars say
and do, one might believe that the
former have drilled deep tunnel be-.
meath reality, and that the latter
have spanned it with an elegant
bridge; but that the living stream of
things glides through these two works
of art without touching either"
Bergson's Most Important Works
Though there have been more than
four hundred volumes published about
him in less than twenty years, he
himself has written scarcely dozen.
The theme in all of his works
is practically the same: The
Plan Vital or the impetus of life,
which, he shows, is superior to intel
lect. The most important of his
works are matter and Memory"
"Time and Free WILL" and "Crea-
tive Evolution" The last, though
pure philosophy, has found prom
inent place in almost every scien-
lists library, especially biologic
scientist. One writer assures us that
some scientists have read the volume
as MANY as five times. Rerpson took

There are moments in our existence
when we demand meaning from life:
What is it all about? How do we
happen to find ourselves here? Where
do we come from? Whittier bound
for? Is this existence of ours a
divine reality, conceived by an all
loving Father, mighty and merciful,
for some sublime purpose of which we
are kept in the dark for our greater
good? Or is it nightmare con-
cocted by the devil to regale himself
in our distress-as wicked brat
sticking pins into flies
Again, now and then, in the silence
of the night, we gaze beyond the
depths of the stars, and are over
whelmed by the fearful majesty of
the universe. The mystery Of it, i'm
mense and incomprehensible, strikes
us with speeches. wonder: What
does it mean? For what mighty pur-
pose such an unutterable marvel?
Every age, every individual gives
these questions different answers.
The answers considered rational and
true by one man or one age, are con-
sidered false and foolish by another.
Most of us find our answers in sys-
TENS of thought handed down from
bygone ages, modifying them in pro-
portion to the bigness or littleness of
our own Individual personalities.
But now and then personality
arises so colossal, with such powers
for sounding the depths of the cosmic
mysteries, that multitudes adapt his
answers for their own. Such a per-
sonality is Henri Louis Bergson. His
answers have found sympathetic
chords in the hearts of men in the
most diverse walks of life. Catholic
and Protestant, Mohammedan and
Jew, believer and doubter-men of
all races and all creeds have found
in him a rock upon which to erect
the edifices of their faiths. Even the
vast inert mass of mankind was
stirred. It cried out: "The man is a
magician! His philosophy is poem
growing under your eyes, with pic
lures in which every living thing is
visible. it must form the matrix of
all future PHILOSOPHERS" The French
cried: "There was none like him
since Descartes!" The Germans cried:
"There was none like him since Kant!"
The Jews cried: "There was none like
him since Spinoza"
The thinking world announced that
it has at last found a Darwin and
Newton in philosophy. The greatest
philosophers of the day gladly singled
him out as the head of the age, happy
to follow in his lead. William James,
one Of the greatest thinkers America
has produced, whose profoundly and
originality have made his name ia
miliar wherever in the world intelli-
gent men and women meet, said:
"After reading Bergson I saw that
philosophy had been on a false scent
ever since the days of Socrates. .
Open Bergson and new horizons loom
on every page. 1t is like the breath
of the morning and the song of the
birds. It tells of reality itself, in
stead of merely reiterating what
musty- minded professors have written
about what other previous professors
have thought. . Without the con-
fidence which Bergson's authority
gives me, should never have ven
tured these particular views of

Bergson's answers to the riddles Of
