Overview

"Creative Evolution (1907) is the text that made Bergson world-famous. In this work, Bergson takes the special theory of duration developed in the philosophy of mind in Time and Free Will and Matter and Memory, and generalizes it into a cosmology of life and matter in the field of evolution, of change in biological life. Tackling the concepts of evolution current at the time, Bergson shows how both mechanistic (Neo-Darwinian) and finalist (Neo-Lamarckian) theories of evolution fail to account for the diverse creativity of nature, especially speciation."--BOOK JACKET.
