An Introduction To Metaphysics

An Introduction To Metaphysics

"If there exists a means of possessing a reality absolutely, instead of knowing it relatively, of placing oneself within it instead of looking at it from outside points of view, of having the intuition of it instead of making the analysis of it: in short, of seizing it over and above all expression, translation, or symbolical representation---metaphysics is that very means.

The habitual direction of the work of thought towards knowing something consists in moving from concepts to a reality, whereby we know such only relatively, through the mediation of symbols through analysis. Bergson’s claim is that when philosophizing in such a manner philosophers are incapable of penetrating into a reality. They are, rather, limited to adopting external viewpoints of a reality and expressing it through the
