30 of May- 1 of June, I'll be holding a lecture about Bergson and his Intuition.
As far as I have understood it right, Bergson says that...
1) ultimate reality is changing, rather than unchanging;
2) ultimate reality is knowable by direct intuition;
3) intellect and intuition provide two different kinds of knowledge, which can be integrated to produce a unified knowledge of reality;
4) intellectual knowledge is relative knowledge, intuitive knowledge is absolute knowledge;
5) intuition is a direct perception and experience of the continuous flow of reality, without the use of any intellectual concepts;
6) the flow of time as real duration can be experienced only by intuition;
7) the intellect may falsify the perception of reality by substituting stability for mobility, and by substituting discontinuity for continuity;
8) many philosophical problems are caused by the use of conceptual instead of intuitive thinking, and are resolved by the use of intuition as a philosophical method.
OH YES, God bless you and your definition.
Now I just have to do this in Swedish, HEJA!

Bergson is so metaphysical -which I don't like that much- but his theory of time is interesting...
Intressant! Låter lite som ett svårtuggat ämne. Men det ser ut som att du är på god väg att få starka käkar.. ;) Ska bli kul att lyssna på dig! Idag ska jag försöka lyfta på ändan och städa.. Det ska jag. Ser fram emot det. jo. faktiskt. snart så.. See you darlin'!
