Bergson, Henri Louis (1859–1941)
French philosopher. He believed that time, change, and development were the essence of reality. He thought that time was a continuous process in which one period merged imperceptibly into the next. In Creative Evolution (1907) he attempted to prove that all evolution and progress are due to the working of the élan vital, or life force. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927.
