how long are they?
Time and Free Will is a 70 page essay. The other one less than 300 pages. I'll try to read them tonight.

😳he has the same birthday as Sufi!SEP would probably be better than Wikipedia, if you're not going to read the books.
Henri Bergson (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Virilio talks about this in The Administration of Fear. He says science and philosophy need to be brought back together and explicitly cites that meeting between Einstein and Bergson as a missed opportunity,It has been alleged that Bergson's knowledge of physics was insufficient and that the book did not follow up contemporary developments on physics. On the contrary, in "Einstein and the Crisis of Reason", a leading French philosopher, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, accused Einstein of failing to grasp Bergson's argument. This argument, Merleau-Ponty says, which concerns not the physics of special relativity but its philosophical foundations, addresses paradoxes caused by popular interpretations and misconceptions about the theory, including Einstein's own
this chimes with my sense of science being basically bad philosophy.
I agree with this but the trouble is in then trying to articulate it. You can see it but you can't bring it back.my general feeling is that there is no idea in philosophy you havent already come up with yourself while stoned.
Yeah, but they put effort into pursuing it.my general feeling is that there is no idea in philosophy you havent already come up with yourself while stoned.
what do you mean?Yeah, but they put effort into pursuing it.
"that if you want to believe some things, then we often find a way to do so, regardless of evidence to the contrary.^
is that pure war?“…For me, this is the domination of the military-industrial complex: it is all the more frightening for political philosophy today because this philosophy has not thought about speed or speed articulated in space.”
What does this mean?
And what is Bergson’s time?
not so much that, but the act of always coming back to the page and trying to articulate the things you cant articulate.You mean like woops and his morning pages? Yeah probably. So it becomes muscle memory.
