The contribution of Henry Bergson's work to the renewal of philosophy at the beginning of the twentieth century, as well as the influence his work has had on the thoughts of major philosophers, psychologists, writers, artists, as well as epistemologists or scientists of the twentieth century (mainly in the first half of it, and not only in France) is undeniable.

Within a dynamocratic view of reality, the concepts of duration, insight, the two kinds of memory, vital impulse, open and closed society, as well as dynamic and static religion, emerge as fundamental.

Considering life as a continuous creative process, Bergson primarily proposes new ways of approaching the issues of time, freedom, perception and image, the relationship between the soul and the body, or even between philosophy and science.
