Dive into the profound insights of Henri Bergson in An Introduction to Metaphysics (Introduction a la Metaphysique), a thought-provoking essay published in 1903. Bergson challenges the conventional understanding of reality, suggesting that it is not a collection of isolated moments but a continuous flow, reminiscent of the ideas of the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
