Abstract

The article is a part of the special bicentenary issue La Pensee Philosophique Americaine 1776-1976.  It traces the influence of Bergson's philosophy in the United States as well as various critical responses to it since the times of William James until the present.  About a half of the article deals with the complex relations between the thought of James and that of Bergson; it shows how the early stimulating influence of James on Bergson was superseded by the decisive impact of the latter on the last phase of James's thought.  The second half deals with the responses and reactions of John Dewey, Ralph B Perry, George Santayana, J Royce, A O Lovejoy, H W Carr, A N Whitehead, American Personalists, K Popper and others.  [Abstract form The Philosopher’s Index]
