I've read bits and pieces of Bergson here and there but this is my first complete work I've read and I really enjoyed it. This is an essay on the philosopher/poet Lucretius and is one of Bergson's first ever works. It gives an excellent introduction to both Lucretius and Bergson and the moment I finished this I was itching to read more of them.

I am a little bit familiar with Bergson's basic ideas and it was quite interesting seeing these ideas peaking their heads around the corner. I have ordered Time and Freewill and will likely begin reading that the moment it arrives.
