Internationally known and one of the most influential philosophers of his day (and for a time almost a cult figure in France, where his lectures drew huge crowds), Henri Bergson (1859-41) led a revolution in philosophical thought by rejecting traditional conceptual and abstract methods, and arguing that the intuition is deeper than the intellect. His speculations, especially about the nature of time, had a profound influence on many other philosophers, as well as on poets and novelists; they are said to have been the seed for la recherce de temps perdu by Marcel Proust (whose cousin was Bergson's wife). Though his ideas were sometimes difficult to follow, Bergson was also a fine stylist, who once declared, "there is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language," and who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927.
In Time and Free Will, written as his doctoral thesis, Bergson tries to dispel the arguments against free will. These arguments, he shows, come from a confusion of different ideas of time. Physicists and mathematicians conceive of time as a measurable construct much like the spatial dimensions. But in human experience, life is perceived as a continuous and unmeasurable flow rather than as a succession of marked-off states of consciousness -- something that can be measured not quantitatively, but only qualitatively. And because human personalities express themselves in acts that cannot be predicted, Bergson declares free will to be an observable fact. Students and teachers of philosophy are sure to welcome this inexpensive reprint of Bergson's classic, influential essay, long a staple of college philosophy courses.

it’s great quality for the price, and I would definitely recommend it
Color: Blossom Pink, Style: Everyday 3 Season 50-80° F
I’m very impressed with this sleeping bag! It’s incredibly comfortable, warm, and lightweight, making it perfect for camping trips and sleepovers. The material feels soft on the inside but durable on the outside, and the zipper works smoothly without snagging. It kept me warm throughout the night without feeling too heavy, and it rolls up easily for storage and travel. Overall, it’s great quality for the price, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and cozy sleeping bag.

Perfect for Sleepovers
Color: Forest Green, Style: Everyday 3 Season 50-80° F
We purchased two of these for our grandkids (ages 6 and 8) to use while they visited for 3 days. It was “indoor camping” and they worked perfectly. Lightweight construction made them comfortable in 70+ degrees, and the way the manufacturer uses multiple pockets of insulation keeps it from bunching up, while remaining super soft and comfortable. Clean on a gentle cycle and they will last a long time… a great value for the price!

Good enough
Color: Ocean Blue, Style: Everyday 3 Season 50-80° F
Ordered 2 for a quick trip. They were warm enough for 45 degree nights. My complaint is how easily they tore.
