Henri Bergson's 'Matter and Memory' delves into the relationship between consciousness, memory, and the material world.
Bergson challenges traditional views of memory as a static storehouse of information, proposing instead a dynamic, evolving memory that shapes our perception of reality.
He explores the role of perception in action, arguing that we perceive only what we can act upon.
The book's central theme is the interplay between the material and the mental, emphasizing the active role of consciousness in shaping our experience.
Bergson's ideas have influenced various fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy.
