%X Abstract: This paper aims to analyze Nurettin Top£¿u¡¯s criticisms towards Bergson¡¯s thoughts regarding the incompatibility between freedom and indeterminism. Top£¿u¡¯s approach to freedom is not compatible with indeterminism. Thus, we first examine Bergson¡¯s theory of freedom. Bergson¡¯s theory of freedom relies on his ideas on time and space. Therefore, we focus on his perception of time and space. After that, we try to analyze Bergson¡¯s criticisms of free will and determinism besides his theory of freedom. Bergson supports the view that the compatibility between determinism and freedom is not possible; therefore, he adopts a theory of freedom based on pure duration. Pure-duration has an indeterminable nature. Nurettin Top£¿u¡¯s basic objection to Bergson¡¯s view on freedom grounds upon pure duration. According to Top£¿u, freedom is not accordant with pure-duration indeterminism. We analyze his criticisms in two parts: The first part is about Top£¿u¡¯s criticisms of Bergson¡¯s thought on ¡°self.¡± The second part is about Top£¿u¡¯s criticisms of Bergson¡¯s thought on ¡°creativity.¡± Hence, Top£¿u¡¯s criticisms that we examine in this paper, consist of three subjects: Duration, self and creativity
