Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness by Bergson
QR code
"Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness" by Henri Bergson is a philosophical work written during the late 19th century. In this essay, Bergson explores the nature of time, consciousness, and the concept of free will, arguing against traditional deterministic views by emphasizing the importance of real duration and qualitative experiences. The opening of the text sets the stage for Bergson's exploration of the intensity of conscious
states, questioning how we perceive and measure qualities such as emotions and sensations. He challenges the notion that these qualitative experiences can be quantified like physical magnitudes, advocating instead for an understanding of consciousness as a complex, interconnected flow of experiences. This critical examination of sensory intensity is just the beginning of Bergson's deeper inquiry into the relationship between consciousness and free will, preparing the reader for a philosophical journey that blends empirical observations with intuitive understanding.
