ПРОФЕСОР БОЖИДАР С. МАРКОВИЋ И АНРИ БЕРГСОН
PROFESSOR BOŽIDAR S. MARKOVIĆ AND HENRI BERGSON

Summary/Abstract: Controversial issue of B. Marković being influenced by French philosopher Bergson is treated in the article. Although not knowing Bergson at the time of writing his doctoral thesis, Marković came to the same conclusions in the matter treated in it. After reading Bergson’s work "Two sources of morals and religion" and taken by it, Marković wrote the article "Crisis of social sciences and misticism in France" where he stated Bergson’s conceptions using his words. For the collection of works "Sociological Review", published in 1938, Marković wrote a critical review of mentioned book challenging Bergson’s excessive misticism and anti-intellectualism. In his obituary notice on Bergson Marković wrote (in the review "Arhiv za pravne i društvene nauke") about the significance of Bergson for social, moral and legal philosophies. According to Marković, Bergson’s social and moral philosophy should be conceived more as a synthesis of a school of thoughts in French philosophy of new era in the sphere of social sciences, but also as an incentive for opening new perspectives. Bergson’s school of thoughts has contributed in Marković’s developing and finalizing his (Marković’s) conceptions on the philosophy of law and sociology.
