HENRI BERGSON’S THEORY OF DURATION: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Philosophers have been fascinated by the concept of time across various epochs because it poses fundamental questions about the nature of reality, human existence, perception, memory, free will, causality, change, and the universe’s origins and destiny, all of which are central to understanding the human condition, the cosmos, and our place within it. Henri Bergson in his philosophical thought posits that time is a subjective, qualitative, and dynamic experience that cannot be reduced to spatial or quantitative measurements, and that our understanding of reality should prioritize duration, intuition, and the immediate experience of consciousness over rational analysis and scientific abstraction. This work critically analysed his theory of Duration.
