Bergsonism and the History of Analytic Philosophy by Andreas Vrahimis (review).

Andreas Vrahimis's book, "Bergsonism and the History of Analytic Philosophy," explores the origins of the division between analytic philosophy and continental philosophy. The book argues that the popularity of Bergson's thought in the early twentieth century caused a split and even hostility between these two philosophical traditions. Vrahimis examines the criticisms of Bergson by analytic philosophers and shows how many of these criticisms were based on misunderstandings of Bergson's ideas. The book also includes chapters on two women philosophers, Karin Costelloe-Stephen and L. Susan Stebbing, who both engaged with Bergson's thought and made significant contributions to the history of twentieth-century philosophy. Overall, "Bergsonism and the History of Analytic Philosophy" offers a unique perspective on the relationship between analytic and continental philosophy and sheds light on the complexities of Bergson's ideas.
