Matter and Memory

"Matter and Memory" by Henri Bergson explores how our consciousness interacts with the physical world. Matter refers to the tangible things we perceive through our senses—solid objects, sounds, sensations—while memory involves the way our past experiences influence our present perception and understanding. Bergson suggests that memory isn’t just stored data but a dynamic part of consciousness that shapes how we experience reality. Our physical sensations are linked to our memories, creating a continuous flow where mind and matter influence each other, blurring the boundary between physical reality and personal experience.
