Abstract EN:
The study of subjectivity's problem in the philosophy of bergson ne- cessarily passes by determinating the role that virtuality's notion plays on the invention of his three fundamental concepts. The research is centered in two main ideas: l) the subjectivity appears as the re- sult of the essentially creative process through which the virtual changes and actualises itself; 2) to be able to think liberty and creation, subjectivity must be surpassed. Thus, the progressive de- | velopment of bergson's thinking, ruled by the successive invention of his three major concepts - duration, memory, elan vital - expres- ses three different and every time clearer manners of surpassing the dichotomy between subject and object. Each of these moments is cha- racterized by a deeper liberation of the virtual's sphere from the subjectivity's sphere.

L'etude du probleme de la subjectivite chez bergson passe necessai- rement par la determination du role que joue la notion de virtuali- te dans l'invention des trois concepts fondamentaux de sa philoso - phie. La recherche est axee sur deux idees centrales: l) la subjec- tivite apparait comme le resultat du processus essentiellement cre- ateur par lequel le virtuel change et s'actualise; 2) pour pouvoir penser la liberte et la creation, il faut que la subjectivite soit depassee. Ainsi, le developpement progressif de la pensee de bergson, regle sur l'invention successive de ses trois concepts majeurs - du- ree, memoire, elan vital -, exprime trois manieres differentes et chaque fois plus claires de depasser la dichotomie sujet/objet. Cha- cun de ces moments se caracterise par une liberation plus profonde de la sphere du virtuel relativement a celle de la subjectivite.
