Do we have free will or are we determined? This is the question that Henri Bergson, the most famous philosopher before the First World War, asked himself. At issue is whether the concepts we gain from science—most basically those of space and time—are adequate to describe our consciousness. In other words, does consciousness fit within the ontology of science or does it exhibit a novel region of being? We will be focusing on these question in a seminar devoted to reading Bergson’s Time and Freewill, An Essay on the Immediate Givens of Consciousness.
