RESUMO

This thesis takes Henri Bergson´s thought as its object of reflection. Focusin on mankind as its central subject in that theoretical univers, it intends to search the nature of the subjectivity sketeched in it. It thus folloes bergsonian criticism of psychology, whose intente do subsume human realm into matter condemns its purpose of knowing it to failure. The overcoming of the associacionist view, the way Bergson portrays it, will attest the nature of a differente subjectivity, blurred by instances most superficial, in which the consciousness we believe to know is delineated. the reach of this mor profound dimension of the self imposes the inspection concerning rational intelligence, guided by a fictititous temporality and by language, so that we carify the distance between consciousness ´superficiality and free untamed subjectivity, whose nature is that of time, that is, the creative duration which surpasses us and entails us to being in general. Berfore the obstacles introduced by consciousness in pursuit of our moving interiority, resources other than conpectual, relevant to analytic and scentific thougt com as an alterntive for the knowledge of human interiority, which ar the imagens originatede precisely in the most hidden regions of the Self. To attribute images the potentiality of guiding us to Being leads us to the questioning of the place given to them by tradition - copy/thing, simulacrum, misake, alterity of Being. we intend thus to question whether Bergson succeeds or not at breaking with traditional thinking, inassmuch as the imagens comin from pure memory and from the imagining effort come to be considered the privileged means that connect us to being. In this way, we will discuss the ambiguity that images take on in Bergsonian work, since it now combines with the reality of the thing, now reveals us the temproal and creative being which inhabits us. Since knowledge of time in its creative action is given by intuition, and that intelligence´s resources do not provide its translation or communication, the resulting images of the creative effort, those images prevailing in arte, whose natue approaches duration,will reveal themselves particularly, which como from a language that goes against itself, become the reference for the philosophical expression of being and for reaching the creative interiority that constitutes us.
