About the author

Henri Bergson

1859–1941

Best known for turning big questions about time, memory, and consciousness into vivid, readable philosophy, this French thinker became one of the most widely discussed intellectuals of the early 20th century. His work influenced philosophy, literature, psychology, and the arts, and he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927.
