Abstract
Free will is one of the important issues of Bergson's philosophy. He considers all the arguments of the opponents of free will, i.e. determinists and discretionary, to be a kind of geometric symbolization caused by the confusion of time and space, and he negates them. From his point of view, determinists propose two types of physical and psychological determinism through the law of conservation of energy and psychological experience, and the supporters of the rational proof of free will by using the power of imagination have considered the action after doing it, which is the image the action is in space, not the action itself, because the action itself is during execution. But Bergson's free will is based on real-time (duree) and according to him, duree is the horizon of the inner world, which, unlike mathematical time (false time), has the characteristic of sequence without differentiation and Freedom emerges from this context and we find it directly (intuitively). Therefore, Bergsonian freedom is indefinable, because if we define it with the help of words, concepts, and reason, I have distorted it because these spatial symbols are free actions, not actions themselves.
