While Bergsonism was fashionable, L. Susan Stebbing, Bertrand Russell, Moritz Schlick, and Rudolf Carnap launched different critical attacks against some of Bergson's views. This book examines this series of critical responses to Bergsonism early in the history of analytic philosophy. Analytic criticisms of Bergsonism were influenced by William James, who saw Bergson as an 'anti-intellectualist' ally of American Pragmatism, and Max Scheler, who saw him as a prophet of Lebensphilosophie. Some of the main analytic objections to Bergson are answered in the work of Karin Costelloe-Stephen. Analytic anti-Bergsonism accompanied the earlier refutations of idealism by Russell and Moore, and later influenced the Vienna Circle's critique of metaphysics. It eventually contributed tothe formation of the view that 'analytic' philosophy is divided from its 'continental' counterpart. 410 0$aHistory of Analytic Philosophy,$x2634-6001 606 $aAnalysis (Philosophy) 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 606 $aContinental philosophy 606 $aAnalytic Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of the 20th century 606 $aContinental Philosophy 615 0$aAnalysis (Philosophy) 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 615 14$aAnalytic Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the 20th century. 615 24$aContinental Philosophy. 676 $a194 676 $a194 700 $aVrahimis$b Andreas$01250841 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910583501503321 996 $aBergsonism and the History of Analytic Philosophy$92899555 997 $aUNINA
