The Creative Mind : An Introduction to Metaphysics

by Henri Bergson
The Creative Mind : An Introduction to Metaphysics - Thryft
The Creative Mind : An Introduction to Metaphysics - Thryft

Experience is the root of genuine philosophy.

"The Creative Mind" could be an excellent read for those who are interested in delving deep into the philosophy of metaphysics. Henri Bergson, the Nobel Prize-winning author, presents a masterly critique of philosophy and a fascinating account of his own philosophical method. His emphasis on the importance of intuition and the spiritual dimension of human life is what makes this book unique and distinct from others. This book is perfect for anyone who seeks to experience metaphysics and science in an innovative way.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Essay collection, sequel to Mind-Energy, including 1903's "An Introduction to Metaphysics."The final published book by Nobel Prize-winning author and philosopher Henri Bergson (1859–1941), La pensée et le mouvant (translated here as The Creative Mind), is a masterly autobiography of his philosophical method. Through essays and lectures written between 1903 and 1923, Bergson retraces how and why he became a philosopher, and crafts a fascinating critique of philosophy itself. Until it leaves its false paths, he demonstrates, philosophy will remain only a wordy dialectic that surmounts false problems.With masterful skill and intensity, Bergson shows that metaphysics and science must be rooted in experience for philosophy to become a genuine search for truth. And in the quest for unanswered questions, the spiritual dimension of human life and the importance of intuition must be emphasized. A source of inspiration for physicists as well as philosophers, Bergson's introduction to metaphysics reveals a philosophy that is always on the move, blending man's spiritual drive with his mastery of the material world.
