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.
书看完了。简单说几点。 柏格森是我非常喜欢的一位哲学家。目前为止,除了康德,就是柏格森,两人是我相对读的最多作品的哲学家。而且以后遇到柏的作品,还会继续关注。 在我的心目中,柏格森的绵延理论,丝毫不逊色于休谟对因果理念的破坏性。只不过对于“绵延...
评分 评分柏格森哲学的难懂在于他的暧昧不清,当初罗素和萨特不待见他的原因也是这样,因为无论在文体上还是在选词上都实在太暧昧了,一个词的使用范畴很容易滑进另一个领域,且他的哲学属于旧形而上学和新形而上学青黄不接那段,不好拿捏啊。 反对柏格森就是认同柏格森,谁叫他的创...
评分这个译本佶屈聱牙,有许多不通的地方,据天涯网友介绍,姜翻译的错误很多,这是原贴[http://bbs.tianya.cn/post-books-88109-1.shtml] 。不过就如姜本人所回应的,翻译确实有许多难处,照原文翻,汉语读者可能会有不理解之处,意翻又容易掺杂译者的理解。期待将来能有一个更好...
