About this video

Runtime: 54 mins

Victoria Trumbull discusses the life and work of Henri Bergson, a renowned French philosopher whose work centred on restoring time and change to the core of reality. He challenged static metaphysical models, advocating for intuition over abstract reasoning. His major contributions include the concept of duration, the defense of the mind against materialism, and the theory of creative evolution. Bergson believed in a spiritual, creative force behind life and matter, and his method emphasized direct experience and introspection. Though his influence waned post-WWII, his ideas have seen renewed interest in recent years.
