Abstract :The paper focuses on that part of Henri Bergson´s philosophy, which is represented by its methodological consequences. The main objective of the paper is a difference between intuition and intelect in Bergson´ s work. His method of intuition is utterly connected with a duration. According to Bergson, intelect moves about a field of stability, rigidity, routine. It is characteristed by misunderstanding of a duration and being. Intuition, on the other hand moves about a field of spontaneity and temporality. It is a direct understanding of matter. Bergson reasons, that there is not intuition without intelect and there is no intelect without a sign of intuition; these two types of understanding need each other in their demonstrations.
