Anticipating not only modern scientific theories of psychology but
also those of cosmology, this astonishing book sets out a
impressive goal for itself: to reconcile human biology with a
theory of consciousness. First published in France in 1907, and
translated into English in 1911, this work of wonder was esteemed
at the time in scientific circles and in the popular culture alike
for its profound explorations of perception and memory and its
surprising conclusions about the nature and value of art.
Contending that intuition is deeper than intellect and that the
real consequence of evolution is a mental freedom to grow, to
change, to seek and create novelty, Bergson reinvigorated the
theory of evolution by refusing to see it as merely mechanistic.
His expansion on Darwin remains one of the most original and
important philosophical arguments for a scientific inquiry still
under fire today. French philosopher HENRI BERGSON (1859-1941) was
born in Paris. Among his works are Matter and Memory (1896), An
Introduction to Metaphysics (1903), and The Two Sources of Morality
and Religion (1932). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature
in 1927.
