The Intensity Of Psychic States

The Intensity of Psychic States is a philosophical treatise by the renowned French philosopher Henri Bergson. Published in 1896, the book explores the concept of psychic intensity and its role in human consciousness. Bergson argues that the intensity of our psychic states is what gives them meaning and significance, and that this intensity is directly related to our experience of time. He proposes that our perception of time is not linear, but rather a continuous flow of moments that are constantly changing in intensity. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of Bergson's theory of psychic intensity, explaining how it relates to our experience of time and consciousness. The second section delves into the nature of memory and how it is influenced by psychic intensity. Bergson argues that our memories are not static, but rather constantly evolving and changing in intensity based on our experiences. The third section explores the relationship between psychic intensity and creativity, arguing that the most creative individuals are those who are able to tap into the highest levels of psychic intensity.Overall, The Intensity of Psychic States is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between consciousness, time, and creativity. It remains a landmark work in the field of philosophy and continues to influence contemporary discussions on the nature of human experience.THIS 80 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, by Henri Bergson.
