Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson was a French philosopher known for his ideas on time and change. He distinguished between two types of time: "measured time," which is quantitative and scientific, and "lived time," which is qualitative and experienced subjectively. This emphasis on personal experience contributed to process philosophy, focusing on becoming rather than static being. Bergson also valued intuition as a way to grasp complex realities that logic alone could not access. In the philosophy of grammar, he explored how language shapes our understanding of time and existence, emphasizing the fluidity of life over rigid concepts.
