HENRI-LOUIS BERGSON (1859-1941) was an influential French philosopher who convinced many thinkers that the processes of immediate experience and intuition are more significant than abstract rationalism and science for understanding reality. He was awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his rich and vitalizing ideas and the brilliant skill with which they have been presented."
Bergson developed his philosophy in a number of books that have become famous not only for their fresh interpretation of life but also for a powerful employment of metaphor, image, and analogy. In TIME AND FREE WILL (1889), his doctoral thesis, Bergson offered an interpretation of consciousness as existing on two levels, the first to be reached by deep introspection, the second an external projection of the first. The deeper self is the seat of creative becoming and of free will. The method of intuitive introspection, first employed in this work, is developed further in AN INTRODUCTION TO METAPHYSICS (1903).
In MATTER AND MEMORY (1896), Bergson again took up the study of consciousness, turning his attention to the relation of mind to body, arguing that this distinction is one of degree, not of kind. The limiting concept of matter is interpreted as a momentary mind, completely deprived of a memory that helps make possible freedom of choice. CREATIVE EVOLUTION (1907) provided an alternate explanation for Darwin's mechanism of evolution and developed the concept of time introduced in Bergson's other works and applied it to the study of living things, while THE TWO SOURCES OF MORALITY AND RELIGION (1932) extended these theories to the realms of morality, religion and art.
Many of his essays, lectures and reviews are collected in MIND-ENERGY (1919) and his final book, THE CREATIVE MIND (1946), a masterly autobiography of his philosophical method. KEY WRITINGS (2002) brings together generous selections from all the above major texts plus material from the Mélanges never before translated in English, such as the correspondence between Bergson and William James.

You would not happen to have the French? :)
A+++!! All sort of superlatives from my side for this torrent!!!
Some End Notes -
1) Dreams (2009/2014) - Basically, same material by two different translators.
2) Introduction to Metaphysics (1912) is rehashed in several of the books.
3) Key Writings - The centrepiece of the upload. It contains several of Bergson's writings not found anywhere. (eg - Duration and Simultaneity) Mr. Bee improves substantially the old .djvu file previously found elsewhere.

Indeed, Dr. Bergson's talks on Dr. James makes a lovely reading!
For newbies, I would suggest carefully reading Dreams/World of Dreams followed by KEY WRITINGS so generously supplied by @workerbee.

what a collection!
@workerbee. Excellent collection, as usual. Meanwhile, the libgen.in web site has been down for 2 days now. I wonder, have you got any wind as to whether this service interruption is temporary or terminal?

@inconnu218 - Je suis désolé, non. Pourquoi ne faites-vous pas?
@malanzirotti - I think it's just moved. Try libgen.biz

@workerbee. It worked! Thanks A LOT. Allow me to ask for further advice, as I trust you have more than a passing acquaintance with the way the TPB site works. It regards the login password to place comments on TPB, like the present one. Several days ago, my password was not accepted, for reasons unknown to me. I selected the option for a new password to be sent, which was indeed immediately emailed to me. If used on the same day that it was sent, the new password was rejected, but if used it the next day it was accepted, and a new screen shown with the reuqest to insert both the new and the old password. I did, and I received feedback that the match between new and old password failed. Nonetheless, on the same day, I was allowed to place a comment, but on the next day it was back to square one: the password that I received the previous day was no longer accepted. So, I asked for a new password to be sent...and the same cycle as described above occurred. I have gone through this for 3 cycles now, with the same confusing, time-consuming results. I suspect the problem arises with the request to insert the "old" password together with the new one because, with so many passwords being sent to me, I no longer have a sense as to which password the "old" password is supposed to be, in fact i may have deleted the particular "old" password that the TPB security system is expecting. I do not know how to contact TPB to ask for help with this problem, if there is any such possibility. Do you have any advice in regard to this? I would deeply appreciate it. And thanks again for all you the good you have been doing.

@malanzirotti - TPB's forum, SuprBay (pirates-forum.org), exists to address account issues of the sort you describe.
First, create a SuprBay account if you don't already have one. Then create a thread describing the problem in "Account Issues" (https://pirates-forum.org/Forum-Account-Issues), which is for matters relating to your forum or TPB account. You can only create one thread there, and only you and the moderators will be able to see it. Hopefully they can help you resolve the matter in relatively short order.
