This book is a landmark for anyone working in the currents of philosophy, science, and literature. The force and vision of the work will enthuse and inspire every one of its readers.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e―Tom Conley, Harvard University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In recent years, we have grown accustomed to philosophical language that is intensely self-conscious and rhetorically thick, often tragic in tone. It is enlivening to read Bergson, who exerts so little rhetorical pressure while exacting such a substantial effort of thought.... Bergson's texts teach the reader to let go of entrenched intellectual habits and to begin to think differently--to think in time.... Too much and too little have been said about Bergson. Too much, because of the various appropriations of his thought. Too little, because the work itself has not been carefully studied in recent decades.\"--from \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking in Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenri 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 \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking in Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Suzanne Guerlac provides readers with the conceptual and contextual tools necessary for informed appreciation of Bergson's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuerlac's straightforward philosophical expositions of two Bergson texts, \u003ci\u003eTime and Free Will\u003c\/i\u003e (1888) and \u003ci\u003eMatter and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (1896), focus on the notions of duration and memory--concepts that are central to the philosopher's work. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking in Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuzanne Guerlac is Professor of French at the University of California, Berkeley.
