Il problema mente-corpo in Henri Bergson e l'esternalismo in filosofia della mente. Spunti per un modello ontologico
Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia December 31, 2021 Alfonso Lanzieri
Bergson's mind-body theory anticipated core ideas of contemporary Externalism and 4E Cognition (embodied, embedded, enactive, extended). His theory of pure perception holds that experience, in its purest state, occurs within things themselves, at a level of reality before experience splits into subject and object. This undivided level is the impersonal origin of subjective consciousness. Bergson's ontology could provide a coherent framework to systematize experimental data within an externalist model, going beyond mere correlation.
