Creative Evolution

Focusing on a vital impulse as the driving force behind evolution, Bergson's work presents an alternative to Darwinian theory. He outlines four crucial steps: the creation of life, the diversity of species, the roles of instinct and intelligence, and the role of intuition in reconnecting with the original impulse. His exploration of time, human intelligence, and intuition reflects on the meaning of life, making a significant impact on modernist literature and philosophical discussions on evolution, particularly in the early 20th century.
