Abstract

Why Bergson in his doctoral thesis "On the immediate sense of material," the theme of freedom has never been about political, moral freedom, but only in his last book, "two source theory of morality and religion," only indirectly dealt with? Reason is that in his doctoral thesis, he only attempted to prove its free rolling theory. See the whole paper is to set up free and then stretching the theory to prove the value of stretching. Critical in the certification process in addition to the failure of determinism, and space through re-light the concept of time, of Kant's theory of space and time to make a strong criticism. From this we can see that freedom of thought in the philosophy of Bergson's position of critical importance. Discussed by the three parts to this: First, Descartes and Leibniz different views of freedom, indicating that the meaning of freedom in its unpredictability. Secondly, free access to Bergson's ideas, we discuss its basic and its problems. Finally, we use the Chinese philosopher Chuang-tzu's wisdom in response to Bergson's idea of freedom, and to determine the final to Bergson is a philosopher of religion. Why did Bergson, in his Doctorate thesis "Time and Free Will", never elaborate on political and moral freedom issue? Instead, he held his opinion on political and moral freedom until his last book "The Two Sources of Morality and Religion". The reason Bergson withheld his discussion on political and moral freedom in his thesis was because his thesis only revolved around an attempt to prove the value of duration. While developing the theme in his thesis, Bergson applied freedom to prove and reprobate the failure of determinism. Moreover in his thesis, by stressing importance of t1me over space, Bergson criticized kant's space theory. Indeed, freedom is of utmost importance in Bergson's philosophy. The article will elaborate in three parts as follows: First, we affirm that even the great minds of Descartes and Leibniz fall short of a lucid interpretation of "Freedom". Therefore, the significance of freedom is indeterministic. Secondarily, we analyse Bergson's basis of freedom and its problems. Lastly, we use the wisdom from a chinese philosopher Tchouan Tseu to reply Bergson's freedom . We then confirm Bergson was a philosopher who eventually embraced religion
