In Creative Evolution (1907), the French philosopher Henri Bergson offers an account of life and evolution centred on the élan vital, a creative impulse driving the unfolding of living forms. Critiquing purely mechanistic and finalist explanations, Bergson develops his ideas about duration, intuition, and the limits of the intellect in grasping the continuous flow of time and life.
This free EPUB edition has been carefully cleaned and formatted for modern e-readers. Enormously influential in its day and central to Bergson’s Nobel-recognised work, the book remains a key text in the philosophy of life, time, and consciousness.
