Henri Bergson Matter and Memory Summary and Conclusion
translated by Nancy Margaret Paul and W. Scott Palmer. The Mead Project
The body an instrument of action only
Perception and memory. the physical and the mental, are not mere duplicates of each other
The mistake is due to our believing that perception and memory are pure knowledge, whereas they point to action
Perception gives us "things-in-themselves."
The mistake is to set up homogeneous space as a real or even ideal medium prior to extension
Real action and virtual action. Transition to affection and memory
Memory is spirit, not a manifestation of matter
Recognition
The different planes of consciousness
Associationism and general ideas
The union of body and soul
Three oppositions: Extension, Tension, Freedom and necessity
Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds, and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.
