Eseu asupra datelor imediate ale conștiinței by Henri Bergson
5.0
A major key take away from Bergson is that the lived experience of time is in-communicable. All attempts to communicate the experience of time are merely abstractions, or symbolical representations, which treat time as if it were space.
For Bergson, philosophers and scientists alike make the mistake of externalizing time, which leads to even more confused ideas.
Does Free Will exist?
Undoubtedly for Bergson, the answer is yes. However, because free will can only be experienced when tapping into our intuition, actual free acts are a rarity.
Yet, Bergson urges us to have a fuller analysis by viewing time and space as different. Time is qualitative, heterogeneous, and singular, whereas space is homogeneous, quantitative and symbolic.
Bergson is also a wonderful writer. I highly recommend this book.
