Why read Bergson now? And why as a philosopher of biology in particular? On the one hand, we are in the midst of a return to Bergson, a revival of interest in his work, and even a full-blown Bergson renaissance. Tano S. Posteraro contributes to this increasingly serious study of Bergson's philosophy with a tight focus on Bergson's theory of evolution. Moreover, he presents an alternative Bergson, not as a phenomenologist whose central datum is the conscious experience of lived time or the lived body in time, but rather as a systematic philosopher of biology with a robust, prescient and largely workable evolutionary programme. The result is a Bergson for the biology of today.
