"Introduction to Bergson" Tatsuya Murayama Price: ¥2860 This is an introductory book that carefully explains the ideas of Henri Bergson in words that are easy for beginners to understand. This book systematically examines key concepts such as "freedom," "memory," "life," and "time (duration)" while traversing Bergson's core works, including "Matter and Memory," "Creative Evolution," and "Time and Free Will." The author, Tatsuya Murayama, is a leading expert in Bergson studies, and in this book, he explains discussions that tend to be difficult in an easy-to-understand manner, connecting them to contemporary issues. In particular, ・The idea that memory is stored not in the brain but in a "different place" ・The paradox that intelligence is not for the pursuit of truth but for survival ・The original perspective of likening free acts to "works of art" The appeal of Bergson's thought is compactly summarized. This book is especially recommended for university students who want to start learning philosophy, as an introduction before reading Bergson in the original, and for those interested in French philosophy and philosophy of life. #TatsuyaMurayama #book #philosophy/philosophy #Bergson #HenriBergson #FrenchPhilosophy #IntroductionToPhilosophy #PhilosophicalBook #Humanities #ThoughtBook #Seidosha #TatsuyaMurayama #PhilosophyOfLife #TheoryOfTime #TheoryOfMemory #Duration #CreativeEvolution #ForUniversityStudents #ForGraduateStudents"
