Bergson is such a goon, reconciling idealism and materialism! Silly guy!

The sauce!!!

Bergson is one of my favorite philosophers to read. In terms of pulling claims and concepts out of his books, Bergson is one of the least obtuse writers in all of Philosophy. Frankly, I don’t know if he could afford to write like Hegel and still be taken seriously. His works are DENSE with ideas and concepts but he really wants you to understand. This is my second stab at this book, it is so difficult but riveting

My body, an object destined to move other objects, is, then, a center of action; it cannot give birth to a representation. Bergson finds that our bodies (to include our brain), do not create the world around us, but instead exists with that world.
