创造进化论

简介

Bergson’s best-known book appeared in Paris in 1907 and made him internationally famous. It argues that neither mechanism, which explains life by blind physical causes, nor finalism, which sees it as carrying out a preset plan, can grasp evolution. Life is an original impulse that divides as it develops, along lines leading to plants and animals, and among animals to instinct in insects and intelligence in humans. Intelligence, made for handling solid bodies, takes snapshots of reality like a cinematograph; intuition, instinct become conscious of itself, can grasp duration. William James received the book with enthusiasm.
