[PAR] [TLE] Creative Evolution (book) [SEP] Creative Evolution (French: "L'Évolution créatrice" ) is a 1907 book by French philosopher Henri Bergson.  Its English translation appeared in 1911.  The book proposed a version of orthogenesis in place of Darwin's mechanism of evolution, suggesting that evolution is motivated by an élan vital, a "vital impetus" that can also be understood as humanity's natural creative impulse.  The book was very popular in the early decades of the twentieth century. [PAR] [TLE] Élan vital [SEP] Élan vital (] ) is a term coined by French philosopher Henri Bergson in his 1907 book "Creative Evolution", in which he addresses the question of self-organisation and spontaneous morphogenesis of things in an increasingly complex manner.  "Elan vital" was translated in the English edition as "vital impetus", but is usually translated by his detractors as "vital force".  It is a hypothetical explanation for evolution and development of organisms, which Bergson linked closely with consciousness – with the intuitive perception of experience and the flow of inner time.
