Matter and Memory (French: Matière et Mémoire) is a work by the French philosopher Henri Bergson. It deals with the different functions and forms of memory and, based on this, provides an answer to the mind-body problem. The treatise, which builds on Bergson's conception of time (1889), was published in 1896 and is considered one of the philosopher's four main works. Henri-Louis Bergson (1859/1941) was a French philosopher and Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 1927. He is regarded as one of the most significant representatives of life philosophy, alongside Friedrich Nietzsche and Wilhelm Dilthey. Content: I. On the selection of images in representation.
