How is it that when we think of time, we hardly think of the role
affect plays in granting us access to time: the sense of waiting,
regret, mourning, melancholy? In Powers of Time, David Lapoujade
returns to two central themes that continuously converge throughout
the writings of the French philosopher Henri Bergson: duree
(duration) and intuition. If duration is synonymous with memory,
how are we then capable of thinking an authentic sense of the
future? Does this mean that freedom is nothing more than a reprisal
of our past? Lapoujade uncovers multiple versions of Bergson: a
philosopher of sympathy, a melancholic philosopher, a perspectivist
Bergson, a spiritualist Bergson. Leading us beyond simplistic
anthropomorphic conceptions of temporality and intuition,
Lapoujade's multiple Bergsons guide us to encounter a rapport with
time, memory, and duration that places us in direct contact with
the nonhuman flows and movements of the universe.
