Newman's doctrine of Development was far removed from that of Bergson's 'L'Évolution Créatrice. He defended the fact of development against the staticism of contemporary Anglicanism; but his notion of development was more like the unrolling of a scroll than the growth of a tree or the expansion and change of a human character.
It would be prayer time then, and after prayers the Vicar would drag himself upstairs to bed, and in the peace that slid into the room when he left it Gwenda would go on with her reading. She had her sewing in her lap and her book, Bergson's Évolution créatrice propped open before her on the table. She sewed as she read.
Work of Darwin and Spencer Bergson's L'Evolution creatrice Life L'elan vital Evolution not progress in a straight line Adaptation an insufficient explanation Falsity of mechanistic view Finalist conception of reality as fulfilling a plan false Success along certain lines only Torpor, Instinct, and Intelligence Genesis of matter Humanity the crown of evolution Contingency and Freedom The Future is being created.
Bergson's life has been the quiet and uneventful one of a French professor, the chief landmarks in it being the publication of his three principal works, first, in 1889, the Essai sur les donnees immediates de la conscience, then Matiere et Memoire in 1896, and L'Evolution creatrice in 1907.
Un livre comme L'Evolution creatrice, remarks Imbart de la Tour, n'est pas seulment une oeuvre, mais une date, celle d'une direction nouvelle imprimee a la pensee. By 1918, Alcan, the publisher, had issued twenty-one editions, making an average of two editions per annum for ten years.
