Sinopsis

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).
