Abstract

Bergson presents his doctoral thesis in 1889, called an Essay on the immediate data of consciousness. In this Essay two fundamental notions about Bergson´s philosophy are analyzed and deepened, those are, duration and liberty. The study about them takes us to another important notion for the French philosopher, which is, the invention. Therefore, the pretention of this work is to show that for Bergson´s philosophy the invention could be a free act. In the Essay, an explicit definition about the invention is not found; however, the clues appear when Bergson explains the immediate data of consciousness, that is to say, the duration and liberty. It lets to find intersection points that lead to relate the free act with the invention. So, the question that guides us is Which is the relationship between liberty and invention? This makes us answer this question: is the invention a free act?
