Lundy, Craig (2024) Bergson and the nature of change: adventures across the metaphysics, epistemology and science of transformation. In: Transformation in Contemporary French Philosophy. Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh. (In Press)
The work of Henri Bergson is threaded by his persistent interest in exploring the nature of change and transformation—a thematic that he investigates through many lenses, including metaphysics, epistemology, and the sciences (especially psychology, biology and physics). In this chapter, I will aim to articulate this philosophy, starting with a consideration of key claims in Bergson’s retrospective essays before looking at his major texts in turn. After outlining the general metaphysical and epistemological bases for this philosophy, I will show how Bergson’s work on the nature of time, space, memory, evolution and the relativity of space-time together comprise a theory of change and transformation that continues to reverberate through contemporary European thought.
