pThe twentieth century - with its unprecedented advances in technology and scientific understanding - saw the birth of a distinctively new and 'modern' age. Henri Bergson stood as one of the most important philosophical voices of that tumultuous time. An intellectual celebrity in his own life time, his work was widely discussed by such thinkers as William James, Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, as well as having a profound influence on modernist writers such as Wallace Stevens, Willa Cather and Wyndham Lewis and later thinkers, most notably Gilles Deleuze. piKey Writingsi brings together Bergson's most essential writings in a single volume, including crucial passages from such major work as iTime and Free Willi, iMatter and Memoryi, iCreative Evolutioni, iMind-Energyi, iThe Creative Mindi, iThe Two Sources of Morality and Religioni and iLaughteri. The book also includes Bergson's correspondences with William James and a chronology of his life and work.p
