The Courageous Thinking of Bergson

Henri Bergson, fascinated by the enigmatic difference between lived experience and abstract theory, pursued a remarkable path of knowledge in his life. This short video offers an insight into the questions he treated like seeds – from them he let a unique vision of evolution, human freedom and the origin of matter as creative life grow.
