Sinopsis

Creative Evolution was published in 1907, and translated into English in 1911. In it, Henri Bergson proposes a version of orthogenesis in place of Charles Darwin',s mechanism of evolution, suggesting that evolution is motivated by an élan vital, a vital impetus,áthat can also be understood as humanity&rsquo,s natural creative impulse.In Creative Evolution, Bergson also developed concepts of time which significantly influenced modernist writers and thinkers such as Marcel Proust and Thomas Mann. For example, his term durationárefers to a more individual, subjective experience of time, as opposed to mathematical, objectively measurable clock time.áHe suggests that the experience of time as durationácan best be understood through intuition.Discussing the meaning of life, Bergson considers the order of nature and the form of intelligence, including the geometrical tendency of the intellect, and examines mechanisms of thought and illusion. In addition, he presents a critique of the idea of immutability and the concept of nothingness, from Plato and Aristotle through the evolutionism of his contemporaries.French philosopher Henri-Louis Bergson (1859&ndash,1941) was influential in the tradition of continental philosophy, especially during the first half of the 20th century until the Second World War. Bergson is known for his arguments that processes of immediate experience and intuition are more significant than abstract rationalism and science for understanding reality.He was awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize for Literature in recognition of his rich and vitalizing ideas and the brilliant skill with which they have been presented.áIn 1930, France awarded him the Grand-Croix de la Legion d',honneur.
