On Bergson's Free Thought

The issue of freedom has always been the focus of Henri Bergson's philosophical research,and he launched a series of philosophical reflections on freedom with the aim of seeking the real freedom.In his opinion,the real freedom is based on the free consciousness,which is separated from the numerous states of consciousness,and its source is "duration".The power of "stretch" makes the appearance of freedom possible.At the same time,"stretch" is associated with "memory",which becomes the bud of free consciousness and lays the foundation for the development of freedom.As the premise of freedom,the free consciousness can not develop without time and space,and with the development of the free consciousness,Henri Bergson found that language limits the expression of true freedom,and it can not realistically describe what freedom is,this makes Henri Bergson's quest for freedom all the more urgent.Contrary to conventional wisdom,Henri Bergson argued,first of all,that the problem of freedom should be examined not from physical and psychological determinism,but from the individual,and he made a lot of vivid exposition of freedom,but there is no definition of freedom.Second,in his view,true freedom is expressed through the life of the individual,through the actions of the Self,and in the study of the actions of the Self,Henri Bergson points out that true freedom is unpredictable,and freedom is achieved by intuition,his thought of freedom was embodied in life philosophy and moral philosophy at that time.In the end,Henri Bergson attributes the essence of freedom to life,and completes the return of freedom in life.In this regard,Henri Bergson's philosophy of freedom influenced many philosophers to begin to question freedom again,which had a profound impact on the later development of freedom.However,while his philosophy of freedom is accepted by people,it is also controversial.Although this kind of freedom has its own contradictions and limitations,but it also gives enlightenment to the development of human itself,and also has certain enlightenment significance to the development of contemporary social freedom.
