Description

Morality and religion, partake, on the one hand, of a static principle, combining nature's heritage and the accrual of past forms, and a dynamic principle through which morality and religion remains always in crisis, always alive to contingency and growth. In the course of this study, Bergson inquires into the nature of moral obligation, into the place of religion and the purpose it has serve since primitive times, into static religion and its value in preserving man from the dangers of his own intelligence.
