Matter and Memory

Exploring the intricate relationship between memory and human nature, Henri Bergson's "Matter and Memory" critiques the material view of memory by positing a dualistic connection between matter and consciousness. He delves into the brain's functions, challenging traditional notions through concepts like pure perception and virtuality, while introducing the evocative image of the memory cone. Despite its complexity, this philosophical work highlights Bergson's significant contributions to existential thought, reflecting years of rigorous research and investigation.
