More about the book
Henri Bergson's work presents a profound critique of mechanistic evolution, proposing instead that life emerges from a shared creative impulse known as élan vital. He contrasts the limitations of intellect, likening it to a cinematograph, with the deeper understanding offered by intuition, which bridges instinct and intellect. This edition features a new translation, a foreword by Elizabeth Grosz, and previously untranslated notes and commentaries, showcasing its impact on philosophy and its relevance in contemporary discussions.
