About This Book

A philosophical study unpacks Henri Bergson's attack on intellectualism by urging a shift from abstract, habit-bound thinking toward a mode of attention that privileges concrete experience. It distinguishes fact from matter, examines how perception and memory are flattened by conventional logical categories, and explains why Bergson's paradoxical formulations arise when language tries to capture lived reality. The work progresses from outlining necessary changes in attitude through analyses of perception, matter, and memory to a proposal for a revised method of knowing that better apprehends duration and the continuity of conscious experience.
