Notes on Burgson and Intuition (not referenced yet/or grammar, spellchecked)

According to Burgson our understanding of the world is dictated to us by out intelligence, a deep rooted understanding of the world which is predominantly taught. We see our surroundings and objects utilitarian way. Burgson describes this as a veil interposed between ourselves and our surroundings… he suggests that, in everyday life, a veil is interposed between ourselves and nature: our understanding and oue senses, conditioned by our needs, furnishes a mere utilitarian, ‘practical simplification’ of reality. We classify things only with a view to their use and it is this classification we ordinarily perceive. He goes onto state: language is inescapably general; it can never express the true individuality of an object…art creates novelty, where language is spatial ,art is temporal, expressing duration, expressing the authentic flow of experience.…… https://literariness.org/2018/01/06/the-philosophy-of-henri-bergson/……for Burgson, genuine novelty is that which could not have been foreseen by intellect, for it is driven by modes of relation to experience that exceed pur intellect involving ‘the whole person’. …. https://rockandrollphilosopher.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/intellect-and-intuition-in-henri-bergson/ in other words Burgson belived that artists , poets and creative thinkers instinclively communicated in a language which could see through the veil of common perceptions and not riveted to the practical understanding or need the poet and the artist aim at what is truly individual. https://literariness.org/2018/01/06/the-philosophy-of-henri-bergson/

Burgson identifies intelligence and this instinct as opposites outlining “instinct is the unconscious form of the inner knowledge” and “intuition is instinct become conscious in what amounts to a kind of phenominalogical empiricism that can excced verbal formulation” https://rockandrollphilosopher.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/intellect-and-intuition-in-henri-bergson/ He valued this artistic thinking to enable one to understand the ‘most intimate secrets of life’. https://rockandrollphilosopher.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/intellect-and-intuition-in-henri-bergson/ through the artists intuitive responses to the world revealing something beyond traditional language
