Time and Free Will

Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness is a philosophical treatise written by the French philosopher Henri Bergson. The book was first published in 1889 and is considered one of Bergson's most important works. In this book, Bergson argues against the traditional view of time as a homogeneous and measurable entity. Instead, he proposes a new concept of time as a continuous and indivisible flow that cannot be divided into discrete units. Bergson also explores the nature of free will, arguing that it is not an illusion but a fundamental aspect of human consciousness. Bergson's ideas have had a significant impact on philosophy, particularly in the areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Time and Free Will is considered a seminal work in the field of phenomenology and has influenced many other philosophers, including Martin Heidegger and Gilles Deleuze. Overall, Time and Free Will is a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in the nature of time, consciousness, and free will. It is a classic work of philosophy that continues to inspire and influence thinkers today.1913.
