The general implications of which I am thinking are, so far as I can see, independent of the divergences between the versions of «Relativity» advocated by individual physicists; their value as I think, is that they enable us to formulate the problem to which Bergson has the eminent merit of making the first approach in a clear and definite way, and to escape what I should call the impossible dualism to which Bergson's own proposed solution commits him.
