Henri Bergson e a crítica à psicologia científica

This study intends to examine the relation, which is clearly polemic, that Bergson establishes, since his early works, with the psychology of his time. More precisely, this study is concerned with the investigation of the Bergsonian complaint of methodological problems present in scientific research in psychology, particularly in the psychophysics of the nineteenth century. By observing the critical argument of the author we expect to determine the philosophical intentions which inspired such controversy, as well as understand Bergson’s theoretical formulations.
