Bergson was one of the outstanding philosophers of Europe in twentieth
century. Bergson was influenced by spencers philosophy, but after a while
found out that this philosophy couldnt explain the evolution of biological
existants. He regarded the cause of this non -ability as Spensers approach
about the concept of time. His approach about time was that one was usual in
astronology and mechanics. Bergson knewthat what philosophers, physicists
and mathematicians had understood about time by that period, was
corresponding with space. Characteristics such as: quantity, divisablity, and
measurabilty that they considered for time, in general, was far from the
feature of real time (something that was called duration by Bergson). What
Bergson called duration was an special consequenceof concious states, and it
would be meaningless, if we regarded it as independent from the man and a
concious spectator. Bergson analysed the concept of number and that of
space, so as to represent an accurate representation of duration. By this way,
he made clear that real time (duration) hadnt any relation to a countable
time and divisible space. Bergsons methodology for research about this
subject was intuition. Therefore, he, by immediate perception of conscious
found out that pure duration consisted on a consequence of qualitive
variations that have been melted to each other, have influenced to one
another, without an determine border, without any tendency to going out of
each other and without any relation and link to the number. That why we
cant percept a non-measurable time (duration) is because of that we are
familier to space, but also we are plungingin it.
