Inhaltsangabe
Matter and Memory presents an analysis of the classical philosophical problems concerning this relation. Within that frame 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, which 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. The brain thus being of a practical nature, certain lesions tend to perturb this practical function, but without erasing memory as such. The memories are, instead, simply not 'incarnated', and cannot serve their purpose.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Matter and Memory,' Henri Bergson presents a profound examination of the relationship between perception, memory, and consciousness, intertwining philosophical inquiry with scientific insight. Bergson's literary style is both accessible and incisive, characterized by fluid prose that invites readers into a complex exploration of how human experience is scaffolded by the interplay of physical matter and mental processes. This work is situated within the context of early 20th-century philosophy, as it responds critically to the mechanistic and reductionist tendencies of contemporary thought, signaling a shift towards emphasizing the dynamism of human experience and the fluidity of time. Henri Bergson, a prominent French philosopher and Nobel laureate, was deeply influenced by the rapid advancements in science and psychology during his time. His background in both philosophy and the natural sciences shaped his approach in 'Matter and Memory,' where he sought to articulate an understanding of consciousness that accounts for lived experience, thus challenging rigid boundaries between the existential and the material. Bergson's keen observations of life, time, and memory are informed by personal introspections and a tireless exploration of the essence of being. 'Matter and Memory' is essential reading for those interested in philosophy, cognitive science, and the foundations of modern thought. Bergson's insights challenge readers to reconsider the nature of reality and the processes of memory, making this work a crucial addition to the canon of philosophical discourse. The book's innovative perspective has influenced generations and remains a relevant touchstone for contemporary debates on consciousness and cognition. Artikel-Nr. 9788026892441
