「感性(sensibilite)」をめぐるベルクソンの思想とその成立の経緯 : 一なるものと多なるものとの関係を軸に

抄録

Although rarely pointed out, in his The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932), Henri Bergson (1859-1941) briefly discusses sensibilite in a very interesting way. The purpose of this paper is to examine minutely the bergsonian notion of sensibilite. In The Two Sources, Bergson analyzes sensibilite into two components; the purely passive one called infra-intellectuel for the one hand, and the passive-active one called supra-intellectuel, which is characterized by unity-multiplicity, on the other. In comparison to his contemporaries, his argument is original to the degree that he pays attention to the supra-intellectuel component. In my opinion, this originality has been fostered around the turn of the century in the course of reorganizing his thought, particularly redefining duree and intuition based on the unity-multiplicity opposition. And again in my opinion, this reorganization or redefinition is nothing but a dialogue with the Kantism. From what is mentioned above, I would like to conclude that Bergson, after tackling the Kantism, has comes to his own notion of sensibilite, firstly characterized by passivity-activity in contrast to the kantian Sinnlichkeit which is solely passive, and secondly characterized by unity-multiplicity in contrast to the kantian Sinnlichkeit which is exclusively multiple.
