《创造进化论》是柏格森的代表作，书中提出和论证了"生命冲动"的理论和直觉主义方法论，并对之前的进化论哲学体系进行了批判。该书1906年在法国巴黎初出版，标志着柏格森生命哲学的成熟。生命哲学的影响远远超出了哲学的范围。除了美国实用主义哲学家詹姆斯和英国过程主义哲学家怀特海这样的哲学家之外，英国戏剧家萧伯纳和法国小说家普鲁斯特等人都吸纳了柏格森生命哲学的思想。

The most famous and influential work of distinguished French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859–1941), Creative Evolution features the fullest expression of the philosopher's ideas about the problem of existence, propounding a theory of evolution completely distinct from these of earlier thinkers and scientists.

In discussing the meaning of life, Bergson considers the order of nature and the form of intelligence, including the geometrical tendency of the intellect, and examines mechanisms of thought and illusion. In addition, he presents a critique of the idea of immutability and the concept of nothingness, from Plato and Aristotle through the evolutionism of his contemporaries.

Bergson's influence on Marcel Proust and other twentieth-century writers renders a grasp of his theories imperative to students of literature as well as philosophy. Historians of science and other readers will also appreciate the importance of this milestone in philosophical and evolutionary thought.
