Editorial Review Book Description Henri Bergson (1859-1941), whose philosophical works emphasized motion, time, and change, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927. His work remains influential, particularly in the realms of philosophy, cultural studies, and new media studies. In Thinking in Time, Suzanne Guerlac provides readers with the conceptual and contextual tools necessary for informed appreciation of Bergson's work. Guerlac's straightforward philosophical expositions of two Bergson texts, Time and Free Will (1888) and Matter and Memory (1896), focus on the notions of duration and memory—concepts that are central to the philosopher's work. Thinking in Time makes plain that it is well worth learning how to read Bergson effectively: his era and our own share important concerns. Bergson's insistence on the opposition between the automatic and the voluntary and his engagement with the notions of "the living," affect, and embodiment are especially germane to discussions of electronic culture.

Editorial Review Book Description It would be difficult to overestimate Bergson's role in extricatingFrench philosophy from the deadening materialism that dominated theSorbonne. It was that cultural milieu that brought Maritain and his wifeRaïssa to the brink of suicide. They drew back for two major reasons.First were the lectures of Henri Bergson at the Collège de France, inwhich the Maritains found a defense of metaphysics, of the transcendentbeyond the material, within which they could find meaning in life. Thesecond reason was their conversion to Catholicism, a move they and many oftheir contemporaries made after being introduced to Bergson's work. Soon after his conversion, Jacques Maritain immersed himself in thethought of Thomas Aquinas and was struck by the comparative weaknesses ofBergson. This book is Maritain's relentless criticism of the philosophy ofthe man whose lectures had meant so much to him. Its ferocity marks it as ayoung man's book, written in part to exorcize the defects of Bergson'sphilosophy as they were understood by one now schooled in Thomism.Twenty-five years later, Maritain, while not retracting his criticisms,regretted their intemperance and, as a result, moderated his assessment ofBergson in a long preface to the second edition. In it, we find aphilosopher who mastered his craft and a critic of rare perception andrefinement. |

good overview
Insightful into Bergson, but it's really Bergson-Deleuze For example, the first chapter of this book deals with Bergson's method of intuition. Interestingly enough, Deleuze applies this method to Bergson's own philosophy. In very basic terms, this method involves distinguishing "differences in kind" between elements (this is important, since Bergson believes that we usually go by false generalizations) and then bring together these elements once again but such that we understand them as they truly are and not as what Deleuze calls a "badly analyzed composite". In analyzing Bergson's philosophy, Deleuze distinguishes elan vital, duration, and memomory as the basic concepts. Furthermore, each of these concepts can only be understood in terms of intuition for various reasons; for example, that only intuition can grasp pure movement (duration). Throughout this book, Deleuze usually (although not always) gives an account of Bergson's concepts without assuming complete knowledge on the part of the reader, which is helpful. However, on the other hand, Deleuze doesn't always tell us what is "his" philosophy and what is Bergson's. Because of this, "Bergsonism" should not be utilized as a summary of Bergson's work. That is, even though Deleuze is clear enough for someone with little background in Bergson to understand much of this book, this does not mean that this person would then "know Bergson" but rather a Bergson-Deleuzian hybrid. This isn't a flaw to the book; rather, it merely suggests how it ought to be read. This short book is complex, but very well written by Deleuze, allowing for a maximum amount of information to be intelligibly conveyed in relatively few pages (although this isn't necessarily true of his later work); it moves at a brisk pace without losing the reader and is reccomended for both readers of Bergson and Deleuze.
An Important Book on Bergson and Deleuze |
