'Ultimately, living matter evinced an ‘intuitive’ psychological process which was 'in its essence... an effort to accumulate energy and then to let it flow into flexible channels, changeable in shape, at the end of which it will accomplish infinitely varied kinds of work'  (Bergson [1907] 1911, quotes on xiii, 202 and 253-254. See also idem [1896] 1988, e.g. 28-31 and 41-46 On Bergson’s ‘intuition’ see Massey 2014).'
