Synopsis
THE CREATIVE MIND is Henri Bergson's most lucid and outspoken defense of thinking intuitively. As a student, Bergson excelled in mathematics and science, but he chose a career in philosophy because of the imaginative impulse needed for thinking outside of the confines of scientific experimentation. Though he concedes that methodical research is necessary for invention and progress, Bergson argues that systems cannot suffice: he favors a learned inspiration, the result of intuition and creativity. This hybrid work, a refreshing blend of memoir and manifesto, offers a provocative primer on the rudiments of metaphysics, as well as Bergson's core ideas.
