A clear, accessible introduction to Bergson’s major ideas and the Thomist critique that frames them for today’s readers.
The book surveys Bergson’s key works—duration, memory, and creative evolution—and explains how his ideas contrast with scholastic and realist views. It foregrounds the author’s main claims in plain language, then shows how a Catholic intellectual tradition engages with them.
Written to help general readers grasp the questions Bergson raises about time, free will, and life’s dynamic flow, the work also reveals where the critique from St. Thomas Aquinas and other scholastics diverges or agrees. It balances a respectful overview with careful evaluation, helping readers form their own judgments about Bergson’s philosophy.
- Learn what Bergson means by duration and real time versus imagined time.
- See how memory relates to matter and spirit in his theory.
- Understand the claim that life is a continuous, self-creative process.
- Explore how a Thomist perspective critiques or supports Bergson’s positions.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, or intellectual history who want a concise, grounded entry into Bergson and his reception.
