Synopsis

Explore Bergson’s idea of intuition as a path beyond ordinary intellect

This concise study invites readers to rethink time, change, and creativity through Bergson’s philosophy, emphasizing how life moves beyond fixed facts and categories. The text frames a clear distinction between intellect and intuition, showing how life’s flow challenges how we usually perceive reality. It also connects Bergson’s ideas to evolution, perception, and the role of creativity, offering a guided path to understanding his approach to mind and matter.

• Learn how intuition complements, and sometimes surpasses, rational analysis.
• See how the tension between spirit and matter shapes evolution and consciousness.
• Discover Bergson’s take on time as a lived, psychological duration rather than a mere measurement.
• Understand why imagination and creativity matter in grasping life’s dynamics.

Ideal for readers curious about philosophy of time, consciousness, and creativity, and those exploring Bergson’s influence on modern thought.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Bergson and His Philosophy

The aim of this little work is practical, and it is put forth in the hope that it may be useful to the general reader and to the student of philosophy as an introduction and guide to the study of Bergson's thought. The war has led many to an interest in philosophy and to a study of its problems. Few modern thinkers will be found more fascinating, more suggestive and stimulating than Bergson, and it is hoped that perusal of the following pages will lead to a study of the writings of the philosopher himself. This is a work whose primary aim is the clear exposition of Bergson's ideas, and the arrangement of chapters has been worked out strictly with that end in view. An account of his life is prefixed. An up-to-date bibliography^ is given, mainly to meet the needs of English readers; all the works of Bergson which have appeared in England or America are given, and the comprehensive list of articles is confined to English and American publications. The concluding chapters endeavour to estimate the value of Bergson's thought in relation to Politics (especially Syndicalism), Ethics, Religion, and the development of thought generally.
