This volume brings Bergson's key ideas from _Matter and Memory_ into
dialogue with contemporary themes on memory and time in science,
across analytic and continental philosophy. Focusing specifically on
the application of Bergson's ideas to cognitive science, the circuit
between perception and memory receives full explication in 15
different essays.
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.
