Inhaltsangabe
Explore how true understanding moves beyond fixed definitions to the lived experience of reality. This concise introduction examines two fundamental ways of knowing a thing: one that observes from the outside and one that enters into it from within. It argues that only intuition can grasp the object as it is in itself, while analysis tends to translate the moving world into static concepts.
In these pages, you’ll encounter clear discussions of duration, intuition, and the limits of symbolic reasoning. The author contrasts the inner, changing nature of experience with the flat view of analysis, and explains how science and philosophy fit into this ongoing debate. The work invites readers to rethink what it means to know something and to consider how our methods shape what we call knowledge.
- How intuition offers access to the absolute, beyond external viewpoints.
- Why analysis translates experience into symbols and why that changes what we perceive.
- The role of duration and becoming in our understanding of mind and reality.
- How Kantian and Platonist ideas relate to modern science and metaphysics.
Ideal for readers of philosophy who want a precise, accessible entry into Bergson’s ideas and their impact on how we think about knowledge, experience, and reality.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book dives deep into the fundamental nature of knowledge, exploring the difference between two distinct ways of understanding the world: analysis and intuition. The author argues that philosophers, despite their varying viewpoints, have long recognized these two approaches. Analysis, a common tool in science, breaks down an object into its parts, studying its relationships with other things. It relies on symbols, representations, and comparisons, ultimately leading to a relative understanding. Intuition, on the other hand, requires a direct and indivisible immersion into the object itself. This book delves into the idea of intuition, exploring how it allows us to grasp the essence of a thing, particularly as it relates to our own experience of time. The author challenges traditional philosophical frameworks that attempt to understand our inner world through analysis, highlighting the limitations of using concepts and symbols to capture the dynamic flow of consciousness. This book offers a powerful exploration of the limitations of analytical reasoning and proposes a path toward an intuitive understanding of the self and its place in the universe. It is a profound investigation of the nature of reality and the means by which we can access its deeper truths.
