A crítica bergsoniana ao método filosófico tradicional – repercussões epistemológicas, éticas e educacionais

Abstract

This paper discusses the design method of intuition developed by Henri Bergson in order to more clearly delineate its meaning throughout his philosophy while highlighting how such a concept stands in front of the traditional conception of scientific method and philosophy. In parallel, it seeks to show how, for Bergson, intuition, by becoming a rigorous philosophical method, can teach us to understand more deeply the reality of life, providing, in consequence, a more balanced intellectual activity of man, able to allow their moral elevation. Finally, it indicates how these methodological, epistemological and ethical conceptions of Bergson relate to some of his reflections on education in general..
