Note 154 — III The ‘Clerks’—The Great Betrayal (continued 2)
Richard Aldington translation
Similar observations may be made about the philosophers, most of whom—and not the least famous—do not live to-day like Descartes and Spinoza, but are married, have children, occupy posts, are ‘in daily life’. All of which seems to me to have a relation with the ‘pragmatic’ character of their teaching. (On this point, see my book: Sur le Succès du Bergsonisme, page 207.)
