The thought that remains at the level of thinking, the work of art that exists in the stage of initial conception, or the poem that is nothing but a dream do not yet require effort. What requires effort is the material realization of the poem into words, of the artistic conception into a statue or painting. The effort is indeed painful, but it is also valuable, even more valuable than the work it ultimately creates, because thanks to it, we draw from ourselves more than what was initially there, we rise above ourselves. (Henri Bergson)
A "return to Bergson" would not only mean a renewal of admiration for a great philosopher, but the recovery or extension of his endeavor today, in relation to the transformations of life and society, parallel to the transformations of science. It is Bergson himself who believed that he had made metaphysics a rigorous cognitive field, capable of continuing by following new paths that are constantly appearing in the world. (Gilles Deleuze)
