Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness by Henri Bergson is a philosophical exploration of the nature of time and its relation to human freedom. Published in 1889, the book argues against the conventional view of time as a mere spatial measurement, instead presenting it as a fluid and subjective experience. Bergson examines how traditional concepts of time, which focus on quantitative measurement, fail to capture the true nature of consciousness and free will. The authorized translation by F. L. Pogson makes Bergson's ideas accessible to English-speaking readers, offering a profound critique of mechanistic views of time and a defense of intuition as a means of understanding the inner workings of the mind.
