Ansell-Pearson contends that there is a Bergsonian revolution  an upheaval in philosophy comparable in significance to those that we are more familiar with  from Kant to Nietzsche and Heidegger  that make up our intellectual modernity.  The focus of the text is on Bergsons conception of philosophy as the discipline that seeks to think beyond the human condition. Not that we are caught up in an existential predicament when the appeal is made to think beyond the human condition; rather that restricting philosophy to the human condition fails to appreciate the extent to which we are not simply creatures of habit and automatism  but also organisms involved in a creative evolution of becoming.  Ansell-Pearson introduces the work of Bergson and core aspects of his innovative modes of thinking; examines his interest in Epicureanism; explores his interest in the self and in time and memory; presents Bergson on ethics and on religion  and illuminates Bergson on the art of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666145108021,"sku":"ByrdShop_1350043958","price":74.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781350043954.jpg?v=1782420921","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bergson-thinking-beyond-the-human-condition-9781350043954","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
