Henri Bergson is one of the truly great philosophers of the modernist period, and interest in his work is currently experiencing a major renaissance. This essential book contains Bergson's classic statement that to philosophize is to reverse the habitual directions of our thinking, and his claim that true empiricism amounts to true metaphysics.
