Bergson vs. Einstein: is there really a philosopher's time?.

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

I will show that in his controversy with Einstein, Bergson did not really understand Einstein's theory of relativity and that the controversy between the physicist and the philosopher was based on a mistake by the latter. I will also discuses how that mistake was repeated by other philosophers and thinkers till the present day.
