Resumo: When getting deeper in the general thought of the meaning of Time, Bergson not only finds out a particular way in which our Intelligence functions but also discovers that this functioning interferes heavily in our view of the world, both our actions and our daily decisions. It happens as a narrowing of our range of vision which imposes a limit to our actions, as well as to our expectations. We depict the world in our conscience, but only that specific part which is coherent to our concepts, and also only what we can translate through language.

Choosing Intuition as the way to keep contact with reality, Bergson searches for removing the obstacles which Intelligence has introduced only for the sake of calculations, measurements and predictions, which have become a filter to reality. When we remove the symbolic intervention, we will have a more complete view of the world that surrounds us, and also a truly open field for our actions.
