Very popular at the time, it gives an alternate mechanism for evolution - that it is motivated by an \"élan vital\" a vital impetus, also graspable as our natural creative urge. It also looks at Bergson's conception of time, a subjective \"duration\" (rather than the quantifiable time of a clock) that is best understood not through the intellect but through our creative intuition, an idea that influenced Marcel Proust and other modernist thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143453294832,"sku":"9781455405299","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455405299_p0.jpg?v=1763856995","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455405299","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
