The lectures were a self-styled introduction to his work, and are a brilliant initiation to Bergson for readers today. We hear, for example, how the work of philosophers from Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus to Descartes, Leibniz and Kant shaped his famous writings on creation and process and how he began thinking in his distinctively evolutionary way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese lectures were lost, presumed destroyed, for decades. Under Frederic Worms meticulous direction, these hitherto unread philosophies of this Nobel prize winning writer have now come to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHenri-Louis Bergson\u003c\/b\u003e (1859 – 1941) was a major French philosopher, who convinced many subsequent thinkers that the processes of immediate experience and intuition are more significant than abstract rationalism and science for understanding reality.
