Henry Bergson

Henri Bergson was a French philosopher known for emphasizing intuition and lived experience as key to understanding reality. He believed that our true grasp of life and consciousness can't be fully captured by scientific analysis or logical thinking alone. Instead, he argued that duration—how time flows subjectively—is fundamental to understanding ourselves and the world. Bergson’s ideas challenged mechanical views of reality, highlighting creativity, free will, and the fluid nature of experience. His work has influenced fields like philosophy, literature, and psychology, encouraging a more dynamic understanding of human consciousness and the nature of time.
