An Introduction to Metaphysics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162571720)

An Introduction to Metaphysics is a philosophical treatise written by the renowned French philosopher Henri Bergson. The book was first published in 1903 and is considered one of the most important works in the field of metaphysics. In this book, Bergson explores the nature of reality and the concept of time, challenging traditional philosophical ideas and proposing his own theories.The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Bergson discusses the limitations of traditional metaphysical thinking and argues that metaphysics must be based on intuition and experience, rather than abstract reasoning. He also explores the concept of time, proposing that it is not a linear progression but rather a continuous flow that cannot be divided into discrete moments.In the second part of the book, Bergson delves deeper into his theories of time and reality. He argues that the traditional concept of space and time as separate entities is flawed and proposes a new theory of ""duration"" that unites the two. He also explores the concept of free will and the relationship between the mind and the body.An Introduction to Metaphysics is a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in philosophy, particularly in the areas of metaphysics and ontology. Bergson's ideas have had a significant impact on modern philosophy and continue to be studied and debated today.1912. M. Bergson explains, at greater length and in greater detail than in the other books, exactly what he means to convey by the word intuition The intuitive method is treated independently and not, as elsewhere in his writings, incidentally, in its applications to particular problems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
