Abstract<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Henri-louis Bergson (1859\u20131941), one of the most influential French figures in the tradition of process philosophy or so-called continental philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century, and Charles John Olson (1910 \u2013 1970), a scholarly and pedagogical poet in the second half of the twentieth century America, proposed similar theories on new humanism, namely the importance of man\u2019s physiology, immediate experience, and recognition. Charles Olsen\u2019s aesthetics has sparked wide controversy, with particular emphasis on Olsen\u2019s approved or known resources. This essay provides a detailed rebuttal of this preposition, namely the importance of Henry-Louis Bergson\u2019s concept of \u201cconscious perception\u201d for understanding Olson\u2019s radical concept of direct perception or \u201cstance toward reality.\u201d Although Olson is not known to have read or reviewed Bergson\u2019s works, Bergson can be well regarded as an outstanding physiological precursor for Olson\u2019s project of restoring man\u2019s physiology to its position at the center of the world, freeing it from the will to power or memory of the past. Both Bergson and Olson prefer instantaneous experiences to received knowledge, and value histology over history. Thus, the essay simply shows some affinity between the philosopher Bergson and the poet Olson and how the latter has been a major force behind the creation of the many varieties of poetry and performance arts in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century America.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
