A review by schumacher
L'évolution créatrice by Henri Bergson
2.0
I appreciate Bergson as someone who sits somewhere between Lucretius and Descartes. His ideas are interesting, especially when applied by Deleuze.
This book's main content consists of a de-anthropomorphized and secularized watchmaker's argument. I could take or leave this, I guess. I found the long passages on biology and different evolutionary theories to be a slog at best and made me worry that I was being duped at worst.
I kind of felt going into this one that it wouldn't really be the Bergson book for me. I'll be looking to read Matter and Memory or The Two Sources at some point.
