A QUESTÃO DO DUALISMO E DA LINGUAGEM EM BERGSON

Abstract

The central aim of this article is to bring to the fore the debate on the
question of language in the philosophy of Henri Bergson. To do so, we will trace our
route from the notorious establishment of the difference in nature between space and time
and the consequent recognition of the two spheres of subjectivity. In presenting the
problem of dualism in subjectivity and the split between consciousness and the object,
Bergson has as focus of his discussion the difficulty of abstract and spatial language in
apprehend the reality of the duration of our deepest self.
