Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Hardcover. In "Creative Evolution", Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Henri Bergson presents a profound critique of mechanistic and teleological explanations of biological development. Seeking to bridge the gap between science and metaphysics, Bergson introduces his most famous concept: the elan vital, or "vital impetus." This internal force, he argues, is the true driver of evolution, pushing life toward ever-increasing complexity and unpredictable novelty.Bergson challenges the prevailing scientific theories of his time by asserting that time should be understood not as a series of discrete points, but as "duration"-a continuous, flowing reality that cannot be captured by the intellect alone. While the human intellect is well-suited for manipulating inert matter, Bergson contends that only intuition can grasp the true essence of life and the creative spirit that fuels it.A masterpiece of early 20th-century thought, "Creative Evolution" remains a cornerstone of process philosophy and vitalism. It offers a poetic yet rigorous exploration of the nature of existence, the limitations of human knowledge, and the dynamic power of the living world. This work continues to inspire readers interested in the intersection of philosophy, biology, and the fundamental mysteries of life.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
