The Forgotten Genius: Henri Bergson's Philosophy for Our Times
2025-02-21
At the turn of the 20th century, Henri Bergson was one of the world's most famous philosophers, his lectures drawing enormous crowds. Today, however, he's largely forgotten. Emily Herring's new biography, *Herald of a Restless World*, revisits Bergson's philosophy and its relevance to our time. Bergson challenged the absolutes of science, emphasizing the constant flux of reality and introducing concepts like *durée* and *élan vital*. Despite a famous debate with Einstein on relativity and eventual eclipse, Bergson's insights into change and creativity resonate powerfully in the face of modern challenges like the climate crisis.
