Creative Evolution

Creative Evolution catapulted Bergson from obscurity into world-wide fame. A study of the philosophical implications of biological evolutionary theory, the impact of this book reached far beyond biology and seemed to many to herald a new age in philosophy and the sciences. This early work of Henry contains an explanation of his proposal that the mechanisms of evolution are motivated by humanity s natural creative impulse. This is a fascinating work thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the history of evolutionary ideas.
