Een gelaagde voorstelling van het bewustzijn volgens Bergson en Du Prel, en hoe deze de artistieke droominspiratie kan verklaren

Master thesis | Philosophy (MA) (120 EC)

In this thesis, Bergson's and Du Prel's notion of layered consciousness is explained and reviewed. In light of their theories, we discuss the possibility and (a) possible explanation(s) of artists who claim to be inspired by their dreams. In this way, we see how the idea of consciousness as layered can act as a condition of possibility for the notion of 'dreaminspiration'.
