The Société des amis de Bergson was founded in Paris in 2006 by Frédéric Worms, to promote the study of French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941). The society counts over 100 members from over 20 countries. The society symbolically took the name of the society founded a few years after Bergson’s death, in 1948 and that disappeared in the 1970s. Since the first conference organised for the centenary of Creative Evolution in 2007 at the Collège de France and the ENS, the society has organised many conferences and seminars in France and abroad (Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroun, South Korea, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Czech Republic, United-Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Tunisia). The society also worked to coordinate the publication and edition of the critical editions of Bergson’s main works and unpublished writings. The society’s publication, Bergsoniana, promotes and disseminates research aiming to represent Bergson’s philosophy, both within its own context and in more recent debates.
