To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bergson appears to imply, from the philo- sophical mistakes of the past. ' Creative evolution ' is, I think, an eminently fruitful idea, if applied on the phenomenal level to emphasize the living reality of the process, the idea of the future as something to be won by our own effort, the outcome of which is unforeseeable on the basis of any analysis of the past or the present. As against the ordinary idea of a predestinated course of things, and especially against the idea of a future fatally d...etermined by the past, M. Bergson seems to me to argue with convincing force; and this gives his pages such an extraordinary freshness — the freshness and the forward impulse of life itself. But the novelty is due, surely, to the inexhaustible nature of the fountain from which we draw, not to any inconceivable birth of something out of nothing. It all strikes one as a process of ' communication ' — to use a phrase of Green's — or, as I said already, of progressive revelation. The novelty is like that of entering a new room in the Interpreter's House, not of building out the universe into * the intense inane.' It is novelty as it appears to us, in the time-process, but how can it be qualitatively new in ordine ad universum?
