Synopsis
Explore Bergson's intuitive method and its claim to reveal a moving, living reality behind our ordinary thinking. This study presents a sympathetic, clear account of how intuition differs from intellect and why duration matters for philosophy.
The work outlines how Bergson links method to content, arguing that intuition is the key to understanding movement, life, and memory. It traces the idea that our normal concepts can fail to grasp duration, and it frames perception as a united act of mind and body rather than a split between percipient and object.
- See how intuition contrasts with standard intellectual thinking and why it matters for philosophy.
- Understand duration as a fundamental reality that guides thought and experience.
- Learn how perception reveals the unity of mind and body, not a simple cause-and-effect chain.
- Encounter Bergson's take on evolution, free will, and the elan vital in a clear, accessible way.
Ideal for readers exploring philosophy of mind, movement, and the history of metaphysical ideas.
