Analyses some of the epistemological consequences of applying Bergson’s anti-Kantian critique of possibility (as a retrospective artefact of real becoming) to art-historical inquiries. Bergson argues that no authentic generation can be understood as a result of ‘conditions of possibility’, a finding that has very significant implications for historical disciplines that deal with poietic acts, such as the history of art.

Keywords:   Bergson, anti-Kantianism, possible, real
