Inspired by Kitaro Nishida?s concept of pure Experience this thesis analyses Bergson?s concept of Experience with the intention of showing how Experience is related to duration and how this in turn destabilizes certain tendencies towards subjectivism that can be found in Bergson?s work.

The thesis arrives at describing the combination of duration and non-subjective and supra-individual Experience as a polyrhythmic movement..

This essay studies what has been written about religious Experience and visions both in the past and now.
