Matter and Memory is a book of cognitive philosophy by Henri
Bergson which discusses the classic problem of how the human mind
and its memories are related to the spirit. Bergson uses the
phenomena of memory to construct arguments in favor of the spirit's
existence. The various types of memory, and how they are related to
the physical world, are discussed. Bergson analyses how memories
are formed, what bearing they have on the world, and how they
ultimately come to constitute their possessor's innate spirit. This
book was originally written by Bergson in response to an essay by
Th odule Ribot, who held that all memory could be traced back to
the brain's nervous system. Thus, the essence of human memory could
be reduced to mere matter, rather than containing a higher,
spiritual element. Bergson fervently disagreed with this opinion,
and strove to write this thesis as a counter to the notion that the
spirit can be reduced to only molecular activity.
