ABSTRACT
The conclusion summarises the main findings of the book and situates them within wider contours of interactions between Bergsonism and analytic philosophy. It then goes on to make two speculative remarks. The first concerns potential avenues for the creation of new dialogues between Bergsonism and the analytic tradition. One of these is the possibility of an “Analytic Bergsonism,” analogous to “Analytical Thomism” in the philosophy of religion. But there are other areas of philosophy of religion where Bergson could thrive. The conclusion provides a few examples of these: Bergsonian accounts of religious language, mysticism, or religious pluralism. The second speculative remark concerns the role of the freedom and foreknowledge problem in the philosophy of religion and theology more generally.
