Abstract:
In this article we evaluate Deleuze's reading of Bergson, discussing two main problems: the monism of duration that Deleuze sees and defends in Bergson, and the ontologization of the past that he finds in the Bergsonian philosophy. As we shall attempt to show, if the first point (the monism of duration) seems particularly misleading, the second point (the ontologization of the past) seems to find a basis in some passages of Bergson's work.
