Bergson sought the establishment of a new metaphysics, which would take the human being to a deeper knowledge of himself and the cosmos, and in this process would found a new morality, as well as other gnosiological categories that transcend the violent instrumentalism of a world slave to an excessively baconian science. Our purpose in this article is to show how, at the end of his work and life, the religious theme emerges as a privileged field for the realization and understanding of the totality and the essence of his refounding project of philosophy. From criticism to Jamesian pragmatism to mystique as the only way out for the human being (transcending a geometric thought towards the thought of duration), Bergson draws on the horizon, even at a time blind to this questioning, the question of whether in fact, how one believes unsuspecting intelligence, religion died as an active agent in Western intellectual dialogue.
