15. Emily Herring: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People
At the dawn of the 20th century Henri Bergson became the most famous philosopher on earth. An international celebrity, he made headlines around the world debating luminaries like Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein about free will and time. His vision of creative evolution and freedom was so disruptive that the New York Times branded him ‘the most dangerous man in the world.’ Emily Herring revives the story of the philosopher who defined individual creativity and transformed 20th century thought.
