Synopsis

Creative Evolution is a philosophical treatise written by French philosopher Henri Bergson. The book was first published in 1907 and is widely considered to be one of Bergson's most important works. In the book, Bergson explores the concept of evolution and argues that it is a creative process rather than a purely mechanical one. He also proposes a theory of life and consciousness that is based on the idea of creative evolution.Bergson's theory of creative evolution is based on the idea that life is constantly creating new forms and adapting to changing environments. He argues that evolution is not a linear process but rather a branching one, where new forms of life emerge from previous ones. According to Bergson, this creative process is driven by a vital force that he calls ""�����lan vital.""The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Bergson lays out his theory of evolution and contrasts it with the mechanistic view of evolution that was popular at the time. In the second part, he explores the nature of consciousness and argues that it is a product of the creative evolution of life. Finally, in the third part, Bergson applies his theory of creative evolution to various fields, including biology, psychology, and metaphysics.Overall, Creative Evolution is a complex and challenging work that has had a significant impact on philosophy, biology, and other fields. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of life, consciousness, and evolution.1920. The history of the evolution of life, incomplete as it is, already reveals to us how the intellect has been formed, by an uninterrupted progress, along a line which ascends though the vertebrate series up to man. Found in this present work are chapters relative to: evolution of life, mechanism and teleology; divergent directions of the evolution of life, torpor, intelligence, instinct; on the meaning of life, the order of nature and the form of intelligence; cinematographical mechanism of thought and the mechanistic illusion, a glance at the history of systems, real becoming and false evolutionism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
