Description
Thinking in Time: An Introduction to Henri Bergson by Suzanne Guerlac provides readers with the conceptual and contextual tools necessary for informed appreciation of Bergson's work. This book focuses on the notions of duration and memory, concepts central to the philosopher's thought. Bergson's philosophical works emphasized motion, time, and change, and his ideas remain influential in philosophy, cultural studies, and new media studies. Guerlac's straightforward expositions of two key texts, Time and Free Will (1888) and Matter and Memory (1896), offer a clear understanding of Bergson's thought. By studying Bergson's work through Guerlac's lens, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the philosopher's ideas on duration and memory.
