This chapter examines the complex nature of intensity in human experiences, influenced by the philosophical insights of Henri Bergson. It contrasts the quantifiable aspects of external sensations with the qualitative multiplicity of emotions, arguing that emotional states cannot be easily measured or defined. Through critiques of popular representations of emotions and discussions of consciousness, the chapter invites a deeper appreciation of the nuanced transitions within our emotional lives.
