Creative Evolution is a philosophical work written by French philosopher Henri Bergson. The book explores the concept of evolution and the idea that life is constantly evolving through a creative process. Bergson argues that evolution is not just a mechanistic process, but rather a dynamic and creative force that is constantly pushing life forward. He also argues that the human mind is capable of understanding this creative process, and that it is through intuition rather than scientific reasoning that we can truly grasp the nature of reality. Bergson's ideas have had a significant impact on a number of fields, including biology, psychology, and philosophy. This book is considered to be one of his most important works and is widely regarded as a classic of 20th-century philosophy.1920. The history of the evolution of life, incomplete as it is, already reveals to us how the intellect has been formed, by an uninterrupted progress, along a line which ascends though the vertebrate series up to man. Found in this present work are chapters relative to: evolution of life, mechanism and teleology; divergent directions of the evolution of life, torpor, intelligence, instinct; on the meaning of life, the order of nature and the form of intelligence; cinematographical mechanism of thought and the mechanistic illusion, a glance at the history of systems, real becoming and false evolutionism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
