Description

Henri Bergson was a 20th-century philosopher whose work had a profound impact on generations of thinkers and artists. This introduction to his philosophy sheds new light on familiar aspects of his thought, while also exploring often-overlooked areas such as art, technology, and politics. The book examines Bergson's key concepts, including the nature of time, memory, and freedom, as well as his views on laughter, humour, knowledge, and creativity. Sinclair provides a clear and engaging overview of Bergson's life and work, making this an ideal guide for those interested in metaphysics, time, free will, aesthetics, or continental philosophy. With chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the significance of Henri Bergson's philosophical ideas.
