Abstract

It is argued here that Bergson's philosophy, with its insistence on the reality of duration (process) and its interaction (dialectic) of intuition and intelligence, has important implications for contemporary philosophy of education.  Passages from Bergson's three brief essays on education, which have never before been translated into English, are presented here, along with an analysis of their implications for the teaching of the classics, history, mathematics, language, and manual training.  Like Alfred North Whitehead, Bergson protests the transmission of "dead ideas".  Education should never sacrifice the vitality and reflectiveness of intuition.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
