Ep 17 - Dewey's Critique of Henri Bergson: The Tension Between Élan Vital and Intelligent Habit Reviving Virtue: Pragmatism and Perspective in Modern Times
-
- Philosophy
I explore the critique John Dewey presents at the end of Chapter 4 of 'Human Nature and Conduct,' specifically targeting Henri Bergson's concept of élan vital. This video delves into Dewey's alternative philosophy based on 'intelligent habit,' offering a nuanced critique of Bergson's transcendental ideas through the pragmatic lens of Deweyan thought.
