Henri Bergson 
Time and Free Will (Annotated Edition) 

Time and Free Will essay deals with the problem of free will, which Bergson contends is merely a common confusion among philosophers caused by an illegitimate translation of the unextended into the extended, as a means of introducing his theory of duration, which would become highly influential among continental philosophers in the following century.

A propos de l’auteur

Henri-Louis Bergson was a French philosopher who was influential in the tradition of continental philosophy, especially during the first half of the 20th century until World War II. Bergson is known for his influential arguments that processes of immediate experience and intuition are more significant than abstract rationalism and science for understanding reality. He was awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature ‘in recognition of his rich and vitalizing ideas and the brilliant skill with which they have been presented’. In 1930 France awarded him its highest honour, the Grand-Croix de la Legion d’honneur.
