The Multiplicity Of Conscious States And The Idea Of Duration - Henri Bergson - Bog

The Multiplicity of Conscious States and the Idea of Duration is a philosophical work by Henri Bergson, originally published in 1896. This book explores the nature of consciousness and time, arguing that the traditional way of understanding time as a series of discrete moments is inadequate. Instead, Bergson posits that time is a continuous flow, and that our experience of it is shaped by our consciousness. He argues that there are multiple states of consciousness, each with its own unique qualities and characteristics, and that these states are not reducible to one another. Bergson also considers the implications of his ideas for our understanding of free will, memory, and creativity. This work is considered a seminal contribution to the field of phenomenology and has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical and psychological thought.THIS 70 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, by Henri Bergson.
