Beschreibung

Reprint of 1911 English Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Matter and Memory is one of the four main works by the French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941). Its subtitle is "Essay on the relation of body and spirit", and the book presents an analysis of the classical philosophical problems concerning this relation. Within that framework the analysis of memory serves the purpose of clarifying the problem. Matter and Memory was written in reaction to the book The Maladies of Memory by Théodule Ribot, that appeared in 1881. Ribot claimed that the findings of brain science proved that memory is lodged within a particular part of the nervous system; localized within the brain and thus being of a material nature. Bergson was opposed to this reduction of spirit to matter. Defending a clear anti-reductionist position, he considered memory to be of a deeply spiritual nature; the brain serving the need of orienting present action by inserting relevant memories.

Über den Autor

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was a renowned French philosopher and writer, known for his insightful and original contributions to the fields of philosophy, psychology, and aesthetics. Born in Paris, Bergson's philosophical ideas greatly influenced 20th-century thought and continue to resonate today. Bergson's work emphasized the importance of intuition and lived experience over purely rational and intellectual analysis. Through keen observation and philosophical analysis, Bergson examines the social, psychological, and physiological aspects of humor, offering profound insights into the nature of comedy and its role in human society. Bergson's philosophical ideas and writing style had a profound impact on a wide range of disciplines, including literature, psychology, and film theory. He received numerous accolades for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927.¿
