More about the book

Exploring the concept of duration, Henri Bergson challenges traditional views of free will in his influential doctoral thesis. He critiques Immanuel Kant's notion that free will exists outside of time and space, arguing instead that it is intertwined with causality and rooted in personal experience. Bergson presents time not as a linear progression but as a subjective experience that can vary in perception. This work significantly shaped modern European philosophy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, marking a pivotal shift in philosophical thought.
