The new Bergson

"As part of a current resurgence of interest in Bergson, in both Europe and in North America, this collection of essays addresses the significance of his philosophical legacy for contemporary thought. It is not intended as an historical investigation, but as a truly new reading of Bergson; his work is examined in terms set by modern debates in metaphysics, relativity theory, evolutionary theory, philosophy of mind, environmentalism and aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET.
