Life and works Bergson was born in Paris on October 18, 1859; he was the second of seven children of a Polish Father and English mother; both of his parents were Jewish. In 1878, Bergson became a French citizen, although he could have chosen English citizenship. His first scholarly publication was in 1886, in the Revue Philosophique; “On Unconscious Simulation in States of Hypnosis” concerns the results of his observations at sessions of hypnosis. Bergson's second book, Matter and Memory, appeared in 1896. Creative Evolution appeared in 1907 and was not only the source of the “Bergson legend,” as well as of numerous, lively academic and public controversies centering on his philosophy and his role as an intellectual. In January 1913, Bergson visited the United States for the first time (Soulez et Worms 2002, p. 134). Of course, in the middle of this decade, war broke out, and Bergson entered his political career, which took him first to Spain in 1917 (Soulez et Worms 2002, p.150).
César Ritz Colleges Switzerland - Hotel Management School William James (ca. 1895, in , ed. by Henry James, Boston, 1920) 1. Chronology of James's Life 1842. Born in New York City, first child of Henry James and Mary Walsh. 2. “Remarks on Spencer's Definition of Mind as Correspondence” (1878) Although he was officially a professor of psychology when he published it, James's discussion of Herbert Spencer broaches characteristic themes of his philosophy: the importance of religion and the passions, the variety of human responses to life, and the idea that we help to “create” the truths that we “register” (E, 21). James's characteristic empiricism appears in his claim that values and categories fight it out in the course of human experience, and that their conflicts “can only be solved ambulando, and not by any a priori definition.” “The Sentiment of Rationality” (1879, 1882) Sentiments of rationality operate not just in logic or science, but in ordinary life. 3. Even “introspection” covers a range of reports. 4. 5. Late Writings Pragmatism (1907)

Ingmar Bergman went so far as to say, "Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream." And Akira Kurosawa acknowledged his influence too, adding, "I love all of Tarkovsky's films. Shot between 1962 and 1986, Tarkovsky's seven feature films often grapple with metaphysical and spiritual themes, using a distinctive cinematic style.
