In Henri Bergson’s lectures at Oxford University in 1911, the philosopher associates his sciences’ view with Greek thought. Based on this comparison, it is a matter of reconstructing his analyses of sciences and metaphysics since the courses he offered in his youth on Greek philosophy. We consider that it explains its link with the philosophical tradition and the radicality of his thinking, especially in the metaphysical conclusions of The creative evolution. Along this path, we intent to distinguish physics and mathematics from psychology and biology; to reconstitute the differences that Bergson identifies between Greek schools; to compare postulates of ancient thought with those of modern thought; and to demonstrate which aspects of these references Bergsonian philosophy has the greatest affinities with. It is not a question of reducing his thinking to the philosophy of the ancients, but to show how this dialogue is especially important in his analysis of the sciences and metaphysics.
