Creative Evolution pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Creative Evolution (1907) is the text that made Bergson world-famous. It established him as the pre-eminent European philosopher for the next 10 years, influencing the course of intellectual development not only in philosophical circles but also in literature and the arts. For many, it became the central theoretical work for the first half of the twentieth-century, and it is arguable that it established the concept of time and its avatars (freedom, difference, creativity, the new), as the highest philosophical values for the next century of French thought. In this monumental work, Bergson takes the special theory of duration developedin the philosophy of mind in Time and Free Will and Matter and Memory, and generalizes it into a cosmology of life and matter in the field of evolution, of change in biological life. Tackling the concepts of evolution current at the time, Bergson shows how both mechanistic (Neo-Darwinian) and finalist (Neo-Lamarckian) theories of evolution fail to account for the diverse creativity of nature, especially speciation. In response, Bergson argues for a theory of non-teleological, non-gradualist dissociative speciation immanent within all evolutionary change: the famous concept of the elan vital that, far from being an obscure, spiritual substance underlying organic matter, is simply the kind of creative temporality specific to all living entities. This general theory of biological duration is also applied to a theory of knowledge (or evolutionary epistemology), as Bergson shows how even the problems of philosophy (order and disorder, of being and nothingness), have their origins in a theory of creative life. This new, critical edition uses the original, authorized translation by Arthur Mitchell, adding a guide to further reading and a new introduction by Bergson specialist Keith Ansell Pearson. It also has a glossary of biological terms, biographical synopses, and other helpful material.

评分柏格森的进化论,准确地讲,并不是evolution,而是transformism,演变论。他不想在细致地考察生物之演变中夹杂哪怕一丁点的人为设想。 他对前辈们的批评,集中在:用“机械论”“目的论”等观念来分解、描述生命的演变,不能真实地考察生命演变,因为做完分解的工作之后,就只...
评分看《时间之箭》,里面好像说过这样的观点,时间的单向流动性,是因为我们的大脑的工作方式所产生的感受——我们的大脑的思考与记忆的机制,也正好像算盘一样,通过算珠从有序到无序演化,来储存记忆运行思考,我们思考的方向,赋予一切外在事物的演化方向:从有序到无序,所以...
评分生命就是从这个决定论的机械世界中越狱成功的那世界本身的不安分的一面,所谓的“原始冲动”就是代表着从确定到不确定的,从有序到无序,从必然到自由的那种能量传递的倾向。 经历几十亿年的发展,生命得以产生并且以智慧的形态达到巅峰,漫长的过程,宣告生命不是目的论的产...
