Philosophize This!

NOTE

Bergson's critique of our spatial understanding of time

Bergson challenges our spatial perception of time, highlighting that while we rely on clocks and timelines to navigate everyday life, time cannot be fully understood in spatial terms. He likens our perception of time to a video with a timeline, where events are seen as distinct moments that can be located and measured. However, he argues that time is not a series of separate points, but a continuous flow. Our spatial thinking colors our understanding of time, leading us to see moments as isolated and quantifiable, rather than interconnected and fluid.
