Bergson et les systèmes philosophiques dans l’histoire. L’image de l’histoire de la philosophie dans les cours de Bergson

Abstract

This article analyses Bergson's conception of the general history of philosophy. It will consider the history of philosophy lectures he taught in his secondary school lectures, and the recently published historical lectures he gave at the Collège de France. This study will lead us to reconstruct Bergson's image of the general history of philosophy before placing himself, in the fourth chapter of L'Évolution créatrice, within this history. In so doing, our attention will focus primarily on the notions of continuity and discontinuity in the history of philosophy.
