[The relationship between Bergson's philosophy and medicine].

The relationship between Bergson's philosophy and medicine follows an outline of theoretical situation in philosophy in the second half of 19c. The former relationship is evident in Bergson's mind-body considerations and thoughts concerning philosophical importance of Claude Bernard's works and are of bilateral nature. Bergson criticized lokalization theory and psychophysical paralelism on the ground of the contemporary neurology and psychiatry. Conversely his ideas, particularly those concerning the nature of conscioiusness and aphasia were reflected in both psychopathology and neurology. Bergson perceives the philosophical importance of Claude Bernard primarily in his theoretical experimental bases for research in medicine and biology. The paper closes considering the importance of various conceptions of personality (including Bergson's) in philosophy of medicine and medical practice.
