The philosophy of Bergson, which is a spiritualist restoration, essentially mystical, medieval, Quixotesque, has been called a philosophy. Leave out the ; call it , mundane. Mundane — yes, a philosophy for the world and not for philosophers, just as chemistry ought to be not for chemists alone. The world desires illusion () — either the illusion antecedent to reason, which is poetry, or the illusion subsequent to reason, which is religion.
Henri Bergson
