Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Creative Evolution Must we then give up fathoming the depths of life? Must we keep to that mechanistic idea of it which the understanding will always give us - an idea necessarily artificial and symbolical, since it makes the total activity of life shrink to the form of a certain human activity which is only a partial and local manifestation of life, a result or by-product of the vital process? We should have to do so, indeed, if life had employed all the psychical potential ities it possesses in producing pure understandings - that is to say, in making geometricians. But the line of evo lution that ends in man is not the only one. On other paths, divergent from it, other forms of consciousness have been developed, which have not been able to free themselves from external constraints or to regain control over them selves, as the human intellect has done, but which, none the less, also express something that is immanent and essential in the evolutionary movement. Suppose these other forms of consciousness brought together and amalga mated with intellect: would not the result be a conscious ness as wide as life? Qand such a consciousness, turning around suddenly against the push of life which it feels behind, would have a vision of life complete - would it not - even though the vision were fleeting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and the Need of Atonement As the title indicates, the main object of this book is not to offer a new theory of the Atonement. Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative Evolution is a 1907 book by French philosopher Henri Bergson. Its English translation appeared in 1911. The book provides an alternate explanation for Darwin's mechanism of evolution, suggesting that evolution is motivated by an elan vital, a "vital impetus" that can also be understood as humanity's natural creative impulse. The book was very popular in the early decades of the twentieth century, before the Neodarwinian synthesis was developed. The book also develops concepts of time (offered in Bergson's earlier work) which significantly influenced modernist writers and thinkers such as Marcel Proust. For example, Bergson's term "duration" refers to a more individual, subjective experience of time, as opposed to mathematical, objectively measurable "clock time." In Creative Evolution, Bergson suggests that the experience of time as "duration" can best be understood through creative intuition, not through intellect."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative Evolution - Humanity's Natural Creative Impulse by Henri Bergson - Translated by Arthur Mitchell - The history of the evolution of life, incomplete as it yet is, already reveals to us how the intellect has been formed, by an uninterrupted progress, along a line which ascends through the vertebrate series up to man. It shows us in the faculty of understanding an appendage of the faculty of acting, a more and more precise, more and more complex and supple adaptation of the consciousness of living beings to the conditions of existence that are made for them. Hence should result this consequence that our intellect, in the narrow sense of the word, is intended to secure the perfect fitting of our body to its environment, to represent the relations of external things among themselves--in short, to think matter. Such will indeed be one of the conclusions of the present essay. We shall see that the human intellect feels at home among inanimate objects, more especially among solids, where our action finds its fulcrum and our industry its tools; that our concepts have been formed on the model of solids; that our logic is, pre-eminently, the logic of solids; that, consequently, our intellect triumphs in geometry, wherein is revealed the kinship of logical thought with unorganized matter, and where the intellect has only to follow its natural movement, after the lightest possible contact with experience, in order to go from discovery to discovery, sure that experience is following behind it and will justify it invariably.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Life: A Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose IN the present volume I have attempted to summarise and complete my half-century of thought and work on the Darwinian theory of evolution. In several directions I have extended the scope and application of the theory, and have shown that it is capable Of explaining many of the phenomena Of living things hitherto thought to be beyond its range. Among these are the detailed distribution of plants and animals, which I have discussed at some length. It occupies about one-fourth Of the volume (chapters II. To and brings out certain facts and conclusions which I believe will be Of interest to all plant-lovers, and also be not without a certain value to botanists. Next in importance are three chapters (x., XI and XII.) devoted to a general review of the Geological Record and a discussion of the various problems arising out Of it. Some of the conclusions to which this examination leads us are, I believe, both important and Of much general interest.
