Bergson's Scientific Metaphysics
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-34197-5 (ISBN)
By re-reading Bergson through a cognitive lens, the essays provide a series of alternative analytic interpretations to the standard continental approach to Bergson’s oeuvre, without fully discounting either approach. The relevance of philosophies of mind and memory sit alongside the role of a metaphysics of time in exploring connections to psychology, biology, and physics. This eclecticism includes an exciting focus on numerous topics that are not given sufficient attention in extant studies of Bergson, including the precise nature of his ideas on dualism, memory, and ecological theories of perception, especially in relation to his contemporaries. Led by leading Bergson scholars from France and Japan, this book maps the rich terrain of Bergson’s contemporary relevance alongside the historical context of his ideas.
Yasushi Hirai is Professor in the Faculty of Letters at Keio University, Japan.
