The long awaited English translation of a book that has, in France,
gone through seventeen editions since publication in 1932.
Reaffirms the bold philosophy of Creative Evolution; studies the
interdependence of instinct and intelligence in the formation of
social morality and "static religion". However, he puts right
emphasis on the proper significance of both morality and religion.
A book for the thoughtful reader, seeking stimulating, and
occasionally controversial, presentation of a philosophical method
of scientific thought. (Kirkus Reviews)
"The book is filled with extraordinary illustration and, as always
in Bergson, exact and luminous metaphor." --"Journal of Philosophy
"
"Fresh and living . . . this translation is first-rate." --"New
Statesman & Nation"
"Exquisitely simple . . . the English version startles one by its
sheer beauty. Here is a volume crowning a series of philosophical
works which have molded the thinking of a whole generation."
--C"hristian Century"
"This book is so rich with historical, poetical, and human
illustration, so packed with repeated psychological subtleties and
dreaming precisions, that to miss it is to miss, as Bergson says of
the prophets and Christian mystics, one of the voices of Life
itself." --"Catholic World"
"This book offers pleasurable access to an important way of
thinking which dominant analytic and linguistic philosophical
traditions in England and America have eclipsed, and which
nonetheless still has current expression in many forms throughout
contemporary culture." --"Reprint Bulletin"
