Meaning and experience in the scope of cognitive activity

The article proposes an examination of the problem of sense in its relation to cognitive activity as it concerns the question of the meaning of methodologies in first, second and third person. This relationship of sense with cognitive activity is analyzed within the perspective of Bergson's thought, through the example of speech perception. The sense appears as a movement of thought that is presupposed by cognitive activity and is not limited to it. In fact, it concerns the largest multiplicity of experience and surpasses both the self and the experience that becomes conscious to him. It is then proposed to connect the problem of sense to that referred to the sorts of relation that are interwoven in experience.
