An Introduction to Metaphysics

In "An Introduction to Metaphysics," Henri Bergson explores the decline of metaphysics due to the rise of scientific materialism and pragmatism, arguing for a return to deeper inquiries about the nature of reality. He emphasizes the importance of intuitive understanding over purely external perspectives, advocating for a view of reality as a dynamic process where human beings are seen as creative and evolving. This essay serves as a foundational introduction to Bergson’s ideas, inviting listeners to reconsider the philosophical implications of "creative evolution" in both human existence and the natural world.
