A review by adamz24
Creative Evolution by Henri Bergson, Henri Bergson
3.0
Nowhere near as important or relevant today as Matter and Memory, I'd say, but still the work of a sophisticated philosopher who easily outshines most of his fellows of the continental school of Philosophy.
The chapter on Nothing is interesting. I don't particularly agree with him, mostly because he fails to look at the concept with the precision of an analytic philosopher such as Meinong, whose category of "subsistence," if accepted by Bergson, would probably radically alter the chapter on Nothing, but the ideas are engaging and inspiring, and it remains one of the most interesting statements against Nothingness.
