Deleuze's Bergsonism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Craig Lundy takes us on an unprecedented exploration of the interior of Deleuze's philosophy. Starting from a remarkable reading of Deleuze's Bergsonism, Lundy shows with great clarity how Deleuze's main concepts started taking shape here and to what extent his entire oeuvre remained infused by the ideas he developed in this book dedicated to Bergson. Lundy's book is at once a magnificent introduction to Deleuze's thought and much more than that. By revisiting the question of Bergsonism in Deleuze's terms, Lundy highlights the invention of an entire philosophical scene whose relevance for today he means to reclaim.' Didier Debaise, Professor of Philosophy, Free University of Brussels The first book dedicated to Deleuze's seminal study of Bergson Henri Bergson is widely accepted as one of the most significant thinkers for Gilles Deleuze's work. It is also frequently noted that Deleuze is largely responsible for having revived and contoured the prevailing interest in Bergson's work. Craig Lundy gives readers of Deleuze and Bergson an opportunity to discover and fully connect with an encounter that continues to exert enormous influence over the course of contemporary thought.
