Abstract
On April 22, 1922, the Societé française de Philosophie hosted Albert Einstein for a discussion of the theory of relativity. In the course of this discussion, Henri Bergson, who was at that time writing Duration and Simultaneity, which explored some of the philosophical implications of Einstein's theory, was asked to share his thoughts. The resulting remarks offer a glimpse into Bergson's analysis of the concept of simultaneity, and Einstein's brief reply reveals his insistence that time itself, not just "the physicist's time," is relative.
1922年4月22日,法国哲学学会邀请阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦讨论相对论。在讨论过程中,亨利·柏格森(Henri Bergson)被要求分享他的想法,他当时正在撰写《持续时间与同时性》(Duration and Simultanity)一书,该书探讨了爱因斯坦理论的一些哲学含义。由此产生的评论让我们得以一窥柏格森对同时性概念的分析,爱因斯坦的简短回答揭示了他坚持时间本身,而不仅仅是“物理学家的时间”,是相对的。
