French philosopher Henri Bergson produced four major works in his
lifetime, the second of which, "Matter and Memory," is a
philosophical and complex nineteenth century exploration of human
nature and the spirituality of memory. In this work, Bergson
investigates the function of the brain, and opposes the idea of
memory being of a material nature, lodged within a particular part
of the nervous system. He makes a claim early in this essay that
Matter and Memory "is frankly dualistic," leading to a careful
consideration of the problems in the relation of body and mind. His
theories on sense, dualism, pure perception, concept of virtuality
and famous image of the memory cone often make Bergson's essay a
confusing and challenging existentialist work. However, the years
of research and extensive pathological investigations spent in
preparation for this and other essays have gained Bergson great
distinction as a brilliant, though unjustly neglected, theorist and
philosopher.
