Notes

Henri Bergson
The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future.  In truth, all sensation is already memory.

Hegel
At the same time that 'I' am the content of a relation, 'I' am also that which does the relating.

Hegel believed that a person is not merely conscious of self and object as separate entities, but through the projection of the self via the mediation of the object is volitionally able to gain a deeper understanding of the self.  All of which constitutes self-consciousness.
