Excerpt from Bergson: An Exposition and Criticism From the Point of View of St. Thomas Aquinas If we examine the various activities of the time-spirit, say in the spheres of literature, of economics, of sociology, of art, or of religion, we shall find that they may be summed up in the principle of mans self-perfectibility. Thus the chief characteristic of the time-spirit is an exaggerated subjectivism and individualism. The law of reason is set aside to make place for the predominant feeling. Sensation becomes the norm of conduct. But even healthy sensation is not of sufficient variety to provide man with constant satisfaction. When sensation has been made the leading factor in a mans life, then he soon has recourse to morbid sensation, for the sane and healthy feelings soon become exhausted.
