Excerpt from Mind, Vol. 29: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy

The new book of Bergson entitled Mind-Energy, although a collection of Essays and Lectures, all of which have previously appeared in philosophical journals, is likely in one respect at least to rank among his most important works. It not only propounds to the student of philosophy a new concept of reality, a concept which identifies it with life and mind in the place of the old concept of something (it might be material or it might be spiritual) on which life and mind depend, and by which they are conditioned, but also it indicates as the corollary of that new concept a working principle of the highest scientific importance. In one of the studies in particular, it offers us an actual practical illustration of the application of this principle. I refer to the remarkable essay, which is really a scientific research on "Memory of the Present and False Recognition".

We are accustomed to think of psychology as the latest comer into the circle of the exact sciences, but there has arisen among us a new psychology of which the new psychologists of a very few years ago hardly dreamed, a science of unconscious mind. It threatens a complete revolution in our ordinary concepts of the mind and an entirely new basis for the science of it. I do not claim for Bergson that he is the discoverer or the pioneer of this science, but he was one of the first to feel the direction of the new science and to indicate the method of pursuing it, and his philosophical concept and principle are completely vindicated in its success.
