More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between philosophy and evolutionary theory, the book presents Henri Bergson's argument that understanding knowledge requires a foundation in life itself. He critiques Darwinian evolution as incomplete, proposing that a creative impulse drives the direction of evolution. By incorporating biological examples, Bergson illustrates how organisms exhibit variations that, while appearing random, contribute to a greater order in nature. His work invites readers to reconsider the complexities of evolution beyond mere survival and adaptation.
