Brilliantly written and Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece by Bergson, which influenced literature and aesthetics beyond the philosophy of life and had a significant impact on authors such as Proust, Gide, T. S. Eliot, and Musil. With his groundbreaking work "L'évolution créatrice," for which he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, Bergson directly engages in the discussion of contemporary evolutionary theories that dominated biology at the turn of the century. In contrast to mechanistic concepts like Neo-Darwinism, which he critiques in detail as inadequate for understanding the complexity of evolutionary processes, Bergson seeks to reclaim philosophical authority over the concept of life. The fundamental question of the work is: Is there something that all living beings share in their development?.
