The final published book by Nobel Prize-winning author and philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941), La pensée et le mouvant, Thought and Movement-here translated as The Creative Mind: An Introduction to Metaphysics-is a masterly autobiography of his philosophical method. Through essays and lectures written between 1903 and 1923, Bergson retraces how and why he became a philosopher, along the way crafting a fascinating critique of philosophy itself. Until it leaves its false paths, he demonstrates, philosophy will remain only a wordy dialectic that at best solves false problems. With consummate skill and intensity Bergson shows that, for philosophy to become a genuine search for truth, metaphysics and science must be rooted in experience; and further, that to make real headway on this quest the spiritual dimension of human life and the importance of intuition must occupy center stage.
