Abstract
Sur la critique du panpsychisme que Popper developpe dans The Self and Its Brain, et notamment son argument critique a l'endroit de toute forme de panpsychisme assignant un role de fondation au principe de l'identite des indiscernables et assimilant les entites elementaires aux monades leibniziennes. Bergson et Whitehead tomberaient-ils sous le coup d'une telle critique?.
