Chapter VIII – Conclusion
Chapter VIII draws readers deeper into the evolving vision of Henri Bergson, where reason is no longer limited to logic alone. Instead, two distinct types of order—geometric and vital—are laid side by side, each revealing a different face of reality. Geometric order, with its straight lines and symmetry, offers a world of prediction and control. But this view, while useful in science and mathematics, cannot fully account for life’s complexity. Vital order, by contrast, is fluid, expressive, and…-

Chapter VII begins with a bold challenge to one of modern philosophy’s most influential traditions. Henri Bergson, in his evolving vision of thought and life, steps away from the rigid contours drawn by thinkers like Kant. Where Kant enclosed reason within the bounds of structure and critique, Bergson sees such confinement as inadequate for understanding the living, breathing nature of thought. Rather than treating knowledge as a construct examined through static methods, he asks us to view it as part of…

Chapter VI opens by challenging one of the most entrenched views in classical philosophy: that perception is internal and subjective. Henri Bergson reverses this assumption, asserting that perception arises at the intersection between subject and object.

According to this view, what we perceive is not an internal reconstruction but a direct connection to reality. This changes the entire framework…
