The author Bergson has written a book that is ideal for students and or anybody considering studying or learning about “Metaphysics”. However, I personally feel that somebody who is not a philosopher would do better to study some of Aristotle before looking into studying metaphysics. Nevertheless this book does it”s job and does it well in the introduction of metaphysics by telling the reader what it”s good for and why it”s worthless. Having a good understanding of the benefits of studying metaphysics is truly the best way to pursued somebody into studying metaphysics. If your considering studying of metaphysics, good for you, I suggest you buy this book.

William James hailed Bergson as an ally. In 1903 he wrote: “I have been rereading Bergson”s books, and nothing that I have read since has so excited and stimulated my thoughts. I am sure that that metaphysical philosophy has a great future, it breaks through old cadres and brings things into a solution from which new crystals can be got.”
Bergson is a master in this field – I highly recommend that you read him.

“An Introduction to Metaphysics,” is less an introduction to metaphysics than a criticism of its previous ideas. Bergson provides very interesting criticisms of empiricism and rationalism as well as interesting solutions to these problems. Bergson is one of the more intriguing of 20th Century Philosophers and I found this work enjoyable enough to recommend it to anyone with an interest in AND knowledge of the subject. However, if you are looking for an ACTUAL introduction to metaphysics, look elsewhere. Might I suggest starting with Aristotle?

Sure, Bergson”s ideas may not have been as revolutionary as Descartes” or Kant”s, but I find them just as intriguing. In fact, it is his critique of the Empiricists (one of my favorite “ists”) which I found most interesting in this work, along with his distinction between intellect and intuition. Scarcely sixty pages, “An Introduction to Metaphysics” is the type of work that can be read in one sitting (at your local Commercial Book Store if you are short on dinero) and I think you will find well worth the time.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you”re using? I”m going to start my own blog in the near future but I”m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I”m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
