Abstract

This research project aims at improving and deepening the step described in the research project on the study of causality in L'évolution créatrice. Thus, throughout the stay abroad, we aim to improve and, above all, prepare the exposure of our understanding of causality in this work. We understand that the privileged dialogue with Frédéric Worms, director of the critical edition of the complete works of Bergson, editor of the Annales bergsoniennes, director of CIEPFC (ENS - Paris), author of reference works in Bergsonism, will contribute decisively to the best possible development of our research.
