to interpret the impressions of the external world, and the applying them to practical needs, was a great advance.  Much greater progress, however, is there in man’s realization of qualities within himself which transcend the ordinary dead level of experience, the recognition of the spiritual value of his own nature, of himself as a personality, capable even amid the fluctuations of the world about him, and the illusions of sense impressions, of obtaining a foretaste of eternity by a life that has the infinite and the eternal as its inheritance; “He hath set eternity in the heart of man.”  Man craves other values in life than the purely scientific.  “There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of” in the philosophies of the materialist or the naturalist.  Bergson assures us that the future belongs to a philosophy which will take into account the whole of what is given.  Transcending Body and Intellect is the life of the Spirit, with needs beyond either bodily satisfaction or intellectual needs craving its development, satisfaction and fuller realization.  The man who seeks merely bodily satisfaction lives the life of the animal; even the man who poses as an intellectual finds himself entangled ultimately in relativity, missing the uniqueness of all things—­his own life included.  An intuitive philosophy introduces us to the spiritual life and makes us conscious, individually and collectively, of our capacities for development.  Humanity may say:  “It doth not yet appear what we shall be,” for man has yet “something to cast off and something to become.”

BIBLIOGRAPHY

A NOTE ON BIBLIOGRAPHIES

The books and articles which have appeared, dealing with Bergson’s thought, are truly legion.  Three bibliographies have already been compiled, one in each of the countries:  England, America and Germany, which are of value and merit attention.

In 1910, Mr. F. L. Pogson, M.A., prefixed to Time and Free Will (the English translation of the Essai sur les donnees immediates de la conscience) a comprehensive bibliography, giving a list of Bergson’s own published works, and numerous articles contributed to various periodicals, and in addition, lists of articles in English, American, French, German and other foreign reviews upon Bergson’s philosophy.  This bibliography was partly reprinted in France two years later as an appendix to the little work on Bergson by M. Joseph Desaymard, La Pensee de Henri Bergson (Paris, Mercure de France, pp. 82, 1912).
