In this article, I deal with Henri Bergson’s concept of memory and consciousness, examining the relationship between these two concepts. Although Bergson often seems to identify them with each other, this analysis leads me to the conclusion that consciousness is only a possibility invoked by memory. Bergson assumes the existence of unconscious memory, which is, according to him, already...

Abstract Chapter 2 develops the nontheistic idealist account of the nature of reality—focusing on the contents and structure of the physical world. For the nontheistic idealist, physical reality is like a tapestry, weaving threads of phenomenology into a world of structured color, warmth, sound, and taste.
