12. Bergson and perspectivism

Author

Abstract

This study is an exploration of the place of perspectivism in the philosophy of Henri Bergson. His work is compared with that of Thomas Nagel in terms of the mutual concern of these two philosophers to reconcile our increasingly objecti vist and impersonal understanding of reality with the perspectival apprehension of the world that living and conscious beings instantiate. It argues that Bergson's philosophy of time holds the key both to comprehending and to balancing the demands made upon us by these conflicting interests. It is seldom that Bergson's name is thought of in this connection, his concerns more often than not being identified with some thesis about time, movement, or vital forces. One purpose of the present work, therefore, is to contest this interpretive slant, not merely by offering an alternative image of Bergson, but also by critically exploring his employment of perspectivism (both positive and negative). We pursue this goal through the double strategy of both unravelling the inconsistencies in Bergson's· treatment of perspective and separating his own argument from the multitude of myths, opinions, and interpretations, sympathetic and unsympathetic, that have arisen around what is currently understood by "Bergsonism". In retrieving his thought from such philosophical ghettoes as "vitalism," "spiritualism," and "psychologism," we will argue for a Bergsonian perspectivism which ultimately resides in a thesis propounding the primacy of perception. One consequence of this is the demotion of memory's importance within his thought. Not that the orthodox image of Bergsonism that retains the privileged place of memory is wrong. Rather, we argue that there is enough in Bergson's peculiar picture of perception to obviate the need for memory in his philosophy, and, moreover, that it is actually more Bergsonian that memory should be so discharged.

35. Deleuze and materialism: one or several matters?

Author

Mullarkey, John

Subjects
Materialism -- Beliefs, opinions and attitudes, Matter -- Beliefs, opinions and attitudes, News, opinion and commentary
Abstract

Gilles Deleuze's materialistic viewpoint saw life and matter as states of a third element. Deleuze described existence as a combination of 'molar' and 'molecular' states, with molar phenomena such as subjectivity and form usually not as important as the microscopic realm that is the basis for all life. Subjectification was defined as an inside created by a folding of the outside, but Deleuze did not precisely describe the nature of a fold.

36. Bergson: the philosophy of 'duree-difference.' (Henri Bergson)

Author

Mullarkey, John

Subjects
Postmodernism -- Beliefs, opinions and attitudes, Difference (Philosophy) -- Analysis, Perception (Philosophy) -- Analysis, Time -- Beliefs, opinions and attitudes, Philosophy and religion
Abstract

Themes of difference, perception and presence represent postmodern elements in the philosophy of Henri Bergson, although Bergson's postmodernism may have been intuitive rather than completely intentional. Bergson has a notion of difference that goes beyond the opposition between nothingness and being. In addition, Bergson's concept of dissociation is very similar to the concept of difference as it appears in recent postmodern works. Bergson also allows for a polyvalence of the present and of perception that is consistent with postmodernism.

38. Duplicity in the flesh: Bergson and current philosophy of the body

Author

Mullarkey, John C.

Subjects
Body, Human (Philosophy) -- Analysis, Philosophy and religion
Abstract

The ontological dualism of Henri Bergson's philosophy of the human body can help resolve the apparent conflict between the modernist and postmodernist conceptions of the body. Bergson's dualism states that the body's existence can be seen both from the first-person perspective as a changeless entity in a world of flux, and as a subject continuously changing due to the influence of social and physical forces. The theories of Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze, representing the modernist and postmodernist views respectively, on the body are analyzed to show how the conflict between the two views may be resolved.

Abstract

The vitalist theory of Bergson highlighting the fabulation of the living event through representation of life and evolution is presented.
