[There
are numerous reasons for Bergson's disappearance from the philosophical scene
after World War II… Sartre and Merleau-Ponty became interested in Husserlian
phenomenology, and then in Heidegger's thought… On the other hand, there is the
mysticism of The Two Sources of Morality
and Religion (1932). The striking religious tone of this book did not
harmonize well with Husserl's phenomenology, which aimed to be a rigorous
science.] Leonard Lawlor - Henri Bergson (Stanford Encyclopedia of
Philosophy)
[Because
of his Jewish ancestors, Husserl became more and more humiliated and isolated.
In 1935 he gave a series of invited lectures in Prague , resulting in his last major work, The Crisis of European Sciences and
Transcendental Phenomenology.] Christian Beyer - Edmund Husserl (Stanford
Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Two Sources and The
Crisis are twin-towers of 20th Century as they contain the
mature perceptions of two foremost thinkers integrating philosophical insights
with sociological thought. Sri Aurobindo’s The
Life Divine, too, appeared by the end of the same decade as also André
Malraux’s novel The Human Condition (1933).
SR/OOO is attempting to reinvent Bergson, Husserl, and Whitehead by presenting
them in a different angle but a lot depends how it anchors the overall
ontological scenario to human aspiration and destiny. [TNM55]
