{"product_id":"the-creative-mind-henri-bergson-9798886771169","title":"The Creative Mind: An Introduction to Metaphysics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe final published book by Nobel Prize-winning author and philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941), La pensée et le mouvant, \"Thought and Movement\"-here translated as The Creative Mind: An Introduction to Metaphysics-is a masterly \"autobiography\" of his philosophical method. Through essays and lectures written between 1903 and 1923, Bergson retraces how and why he became a philosopher, along the way crafting a fascinating critique of philosophy itself. Until it leaves its false paths, he demonstrates, philosophy will remain only a wordy dialectic that at best \"solves\" false problems. With consummate skill and intensity Bergson shows that, for philosophy to become a genuine search for truth, metaphysics and science must be rooted in experience; and further, that to make real headway on this quest the spiritual dimension of human life and the importance of intuition must occupy center stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Creative Mind has been a source of inspiration for physicists as well as philosophers, as Bergson reveals in these pages a lively philosophy uniting man's spiritual drive with his mastery of the physical world-that is, a philosophy ever \"in movement,\" as the original French title plainly states. This Angelico Press edition includes a new foreword by Iain McGilchrist that serves to situate and burnish the pivotal importance of Bergson and this book amid the dark warren of today's errant paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Bergson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798886771169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.72d","brand":"Henri Bergson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962330239231,"sku":"9798886771169","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37cd569d-832a-446a-87a1-b9d7e437910a.jpg?v=1750650029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-creative-mind-henri-bergson-9798886771169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
