One of the most remarkable philosophers of the early 20th century,
Henri Bergson attempted to blend the new understandings of
biological sciences with concepts of human consciousness in such
books as 1907's Creative Evolution. With this extraordinary work,
first published in French in 1889, Bergson anticipates Einstein's
theory of relativity and the coming revolution in theoretical
physics with his exploration of free will as a function of time.
Time and Free Will-first translated in English by FRANK LUBECKI
POGSON (d. 1910) in 1910-served as Bergson's doctoral thesis, and
offered the foundations of his highly influential theory of
"Duration," a defense of free will that solves the "problems" with
the concept that previous philosophers had encountered with it.
Students of modern philosophy and high-end physics alike will find
this a challenging but rewarding read. French philosopher HENRI
BERGSON (1859-1941) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1927, and is said to have influenced thinkers such as Marcel
Proust, William James, Santayana, and Martin Heidegger. Among his
works are Matter and Memory (1896), An Introduction to Metaphysics
(1903), and The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932).
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.
In one of his most important philosophical writings, Henri Bergson
here discusses how the matter of the brain and the world external
to the body create mental impressions and memories. Matter and
Memory, first published in 1912, introduced the current
selectionist theories of memory, which postulate that there is a
part of the brain that generates all possible images to be stored
in memory and a part of the brain that chooses which images to
store. Crossing academic disciplines and touching on matters that
concern us all-how do we remember, and why?-this essential work
will enthrall students of philosophy and psychology and lay readers
alike. French philosopher HENRI BERGSON (1859-1941) was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927, and is said to have influenced
thinkers such as Marcel Proust, William James, Santayana, and
Martin Heidegger. Among his works are Matter and Memory (1896), An
Introduction to Metaphysics (1903), and The Two Sources of Morality
and Religion (1932).
