Which philosophers were influenced by Henri Bergson?

Henri Bergson’s philosophical influence was significant, particularly in France, though it did not result in the formation of a formal "Bergsonian school" of philosophy. His ideas resonated deeply with several prominent thinkers, most notably:1

• William James: The American pragmatist was an enthusiastic reader of Bergson’s work, and the two philosophers maintained a warm friendship.12
• George Santayana: The Spanish-American philosopher was also influenced by Bergson’s thought.1
• Alfred North Whitehead: Often regarded as the other major process metaphysician of the 20th century, Whitehead’s work reflects the impact of Bergson’s ideas.1

Bergson’s influence extended beyond professional philosophy, impacting various fields including literature, music, painting, politics, and religion during the early 20th century.2
