For Bergson, like many
process thinkers (Peirce,
James and Dewey come particularly to mind), the entire concept of «necessity» only makes sense when applied internally to abstractions the intellect has already devised.11 Of course, one can tell an evolutionary story
about how the human intellect came to be a separable function of consciousness that emphasizes abstraction (indeed, that is what Bergson does in
Creative Evolution), but if one were to say that the course of development described in that story had to occur (i.e., necessarily) as it did, then one would be very far from Bergson's view (CE 218, 236, 270).
