Time and Free Will

Description of book

Henri Bergson's 'Time and Free Will' explores the complex relationship between time and human free will through a philosophical lens. Published in 1889, this work is a masterpiece of French literature that challenges traditional views on determinism and causality. Bergson's writing is characterized by its clear and concise prose, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in philosophy. Drawing on insights from psychology, mathematics, and metaphysics, Bergson argues that true freedom can only be achieved by transcending the constraints of linear time. His ideas on intuition and duration have had a significant impact on the field of philosophy. Henri Bergson's background as a renowned French philosopher and Nobel Prize winner in Literature sheds light on his motivation for writing 'Time and Free Will.' As a leading figure in the philosophical movement known as Bergsonism, his work continues to influence contemporary thinkers. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the nature of time and its implications on human consciousness.
