Henri Bergson (4) * O Élan Vital: A Força Criadora que Inventa a Vida | História das Ideias

In this episode, we delve into Creative Evolution (1907), Henri Bergson's most famous work, where he presents the élan vital – the creative impulse that explains the evolution of life. You will discover: Critique of mechanism (blind Darwinism) Critique of finalism (predetermined purpose) What is *élan vital*? Unpredictable and indivisible force (Example of the invention of the wheel) The branching of life: plants (immobility), animals (instinct), humans (intelligence) Connection between biology and human history Life as continuous creation Why this matters today (science, history, freedom) If you've ever wondered why evolution seems to invent new and unpredictable things, Bergson answers: it's neither chance nor destiny – it's vital impulse. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe + bell! #HenriBergson #ElanVital #CreativeEvolution #Philosophy #HistoryOfIdeas This video is part of the DrSilverio channel project dedicated to the study of the history of Western thought, analyzing philosophy, psychology, and the ideas that shaped the contemporary world.
