Summary:

Driven by a dual analysis, Encounters with Bergson(ism) in Spain looks at French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941) in Spain -- his more or less direct influence on Spanish letters -- and also at Bergsonism in Spain -- the more indirect resonance with his methodological posture -- articulated through Spanish texts as well as theoretical.
