Abstract

We propose, in this article, to present some considerations about Bergson’s method of intuition. To this end, we mainly cover texts from his book on method, Thought and Movement, and certain, very specific moments, from his other books Creative Evolution and Matter and Memory. Our starting point is the thematization of the anteriority of the notion of duration in relation to the method of intuition. Secondly, we highlight two definitions of intuition proposed by Bergson at different moments in his work, as well as the problem of language and its implications for the expression of the content of intuition. Finally, we highlight the relevance and role of intelligence in the exercise of intuition itself, which presupposes the inseparability between the two faculties.
