Matter and memory /

A reissue of the original English translation of the fifth edition of Bergson's out-of-print Matiere et Memoire (Paris, 1908), this book includes an introduction that he wrote for the authorized translation. Chapter subheadings included at the top of the page in the French oeuvres as well as in previous English translation have been eliminated, and the five illustrative figures have been changed in minor details. One reason to buy this book could be the useful 12-page bibliography added by Bruno Paradis. In the new index, philosophers might regret the omission of terms such as "abstraction," "appreception," "cause," and "will," while scientists might applaud the inclusion of terms such as "auditory image," "inextension," and "place." This classic is of interest to anyone dealing with any aspect of the mind-body relation. For general and advanced readers. M. C. Morkovsky Wadhams Hall Seminary-College
