The 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859–1941) "in recognition of his rich and vitalizing ideas and the brilliant skill with which they have been presented."[1] He was the second philosopher to gain the Nobel Prize after Rudolf Christoph Eucken won in 1908.
