Synopsis After submitting it as his doctoral dissertation, Henri Bergson published TIME AND FREE WILL in 1889. In it, he expounds his theory, which he was to build upon in most of his major works, of time as durée, or lived duration, as opposed to the mechanical time of physics. Life, as Bergson conceives it, is an unceasing temporal flow in which the past, escorted along by the future, is constantly reinvented in the ever-changing present. Bergson resists the "spatialization" of time, akin to the fixity of fatalism, which he rejects in favor of free will.
