Bergson Postcolonial: L'élan Vital Dans La Pensée De Léopold Sédar Senghor Et De Mohamed Iqbal

Souleymane Bachir Diagne

4.9/5 (15759 ratings)

Description:A turn back to the work of the French philosopher Henri Bergson at the beginning of the twenty-first century has been accompanied by a renewal of interest in his influence outside of France, in India and Africa. In Postcolonial Bergson, Souleymane Bachir Diagne traces the influence of Bergson's thought--and the true affinities between thinkers--through the work of two major figures in the postcolonial struggle: the Muslim Muhammad Iqbal and the Catholic L�opold S�dar Senghor. Poets and statesmen as well as philosophers, both of these thinkers played an essential political and intellectual role in the independence of their respective countries. Both found, in Bergson's work, important support for their philosophies. For Iqbal, a founding father of independent Pakistan, Bergson's conceptions of time and creative evolution resonated with the need for the "reconstruction of religious thought in Islam," a religious thought newly able to incorporate innovation and change. For Senghor, Bergsonian ideas of perception, intuition, and �lan vital--filtered in part through the work of the French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin--proved crucial for his thinking about African art, as well as foundational for his formulations of "African socialism" and his visions of an un-alienated African future. In this study of international philosophical influence--a major contribution to the revival of Bergson studies--Souleymane Bachir Diagne illuminates the encounters and afterlives of the Bergsonian concepts of �lan vital, newness, duration, and intuition in the thought of L�opold S�dar Senghor and Muhammad Iqbal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
