Creative Evolution

A modern-English edition of Henri Bergson’s 1907 philosophical classic on life, time, change, and creative becoming. Bergson is one of the most original thinkers of the modern period, but his prose can be demanding. This edition makes the work more accessible while preserving its ambition and conceptual structure.

Creative Evolution is a challenge to mechanistic ways of understanding life and mind. Bergson explores duration, movement, novelty, and the limits of static concepts in grasping living reality.

For readers interested in metaphysics, the philosophy of life, consciousness, or major alternatives to reductionist thinking, this is one of the central books of the period.
