Small octavo. 93pp. 6.25" x 4.25" Limited to 1500 total copies, of which this is 721 (1/250 copies printed on the more elegant Rives paper). Originally delivered as a lecture at the Philosophical Congress of Bologne on April 10, 1911, L'Intuition Philosophique encapsulates Bergson s influential ideas on metaphysics and epistemology, underscoring his impact on 20th-century philosophy. Bergson s advocacy for intuition as a means of direct knowledge challenges traditional reliance on empirical science and analytical thought, inspiring future existentialist and phenomenological thinkers. This book remains essential for understanding Bergson s contributions to philosophy, offering a profound argument for the value of intuition in exploring the essence of existence and consciousness. Bergson s insightful lecture was finally published in 1927, the same year in which Bergson was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature.
