Abstract

Henri Louis Bergson (1892-1941), the French intuitionist philosopher, has focused almost his whole philosophy on real-time, and by suggesting a time outside the spatial-temporal limitations that can justify the fluid existence, tried to explain the truth behind this concept. The immediate intuition and perception that Bergson considers an instrument and method for perceiving and understanding the duration of existence is the same intuition by which the great poets and especially, the surreal poets pursue to remove the veil of truth. In the meantime, in Arabic literature, a surreal poet who happens to be familiar with western philosophy in general and Bergson’s philosophy in specific has taken the time out of its linear framework and tried to, like the human dynamic field, raise this subject in the concept of the extension and duration and use it for expression of continuous ‘becoming’ of life and its developments is “Adonis”. Adonis tries to know the truths of the world by placing his existence at the center, and like the flow, Bergson feels inside him and generalizes it to all phenomena. In this ode, the poet looks at what he has been through during different stages of his life and realizes it with his imagination power which is the same concept of “pure memory” introduced by Bergson. Finally, like Bergson, Adonis also considers the way to the perception of the truth and experience of the original and pure memory to be the “immediate perception” of them and avoidance of their exclusive attributes.
