Creative Evolution (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)
Search in google:
Creative Evolution appeared in Paris in 1907 to a receptive audience. In some respects a culmination of nineteenth-century thought, Henri Bergson's path-breaking work was nonetheless seen as one of the new century's radical breaks with the past, enjoying this status in the public mind with the work of Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein, and with the shock of post-impressionist art. Bergson's critiques of abstract ideas and Darwinian concepts of evolution, his celebrations of intuition and creativity, closely paralleled the spirit of the times. Creative Evolution, destined to have a significant effect on fields as diverse as genetic psychology, literary criticism, and thermodynamics, was to become the most unlikely of philosophical events-an international bestseller.
