Abstract(s)
As posições de Henri Bergson sobre Plotino constituem um caso curioso, contrastando entre uma simpatia declarada nos Cours do Collège de France e um quase silêncio na obra escrita. Enquanto o professor Bergson se interessa pelo estudo da obra de Plotino por si mesma, o filósofo Bergson identifica o neoplatónico com a matriz de todo um corpo metafísico de saber: o pensamento antigo grego. O artigo procura evidenciar a articulação entre o professor e o filósofo, explorando o alcance das influências plotinianas na construção e na consolidação (ainda que implícita) da obra de Bergson – seja por adesão, seja por demarcação –, focando três conceitos essenciais: alma, simpatia e causalidade.
Henri Bergson’s statements on Plotinus are an interesting case-study for his readers, contrasting between an avowed sympathy (in the Courses at the Collège de France) and an almost absence of references (in his writings). While Bergson-the-professor is interested in the study of Plotinus’ work for its own sake, Bergson-the-philosopher identifies the Neoplatonist with the matrix of an entire metaphysical body of knowledge: the Ancient Greek philosophy. The article seeks to highlight the articulation between the professor and the philosopher, exploring the scope of Plotinian influences in the construction and consolidation (albeit implicit) of Bergson’s thought - whether by adherence or demarcation -, focusing on three essential concepts: soul, sympathy, and causality.
