A New Philosophy

A New Philosophy by Henri Bergson is a profound and accessible exposition of one of the most influential philosophical systems of the early 20th century. In this illuminating work, Bergson introduces readers to his revolutionary concepts of durée (lived time), intuition as a method of knowledge, and the dynamic, creative force underlying evolution and consciousness. Challenging rigid mechanistic and purely analytical approaches to reality, Bergson argues for a philosophy rooted in direct experience and the fluid movement of life itself. Clear yet intellectually rich, this volume serves as both an introduction to Bergson's broader philosophy and a compelling statement of his ideas on metaphysics, perception, freedom, and creativity. Essential for students of continental philosophy, modern metaphysics, and the philosophy of time, A New Philosophy remains a cornerstone of modern European thought.
