240814: this is deleuze. clear, concise, capacious, complex. this is exactly what I want in continental /postmodern/ deconstructed philosophy. he calls it 'superior empiricism'. he incorporates many (western) thinkers, some expectations with whose work the reader is already familiar. series of four essays, first written last, then his particular interceptions of deleuzean themes in Hume and Nietzsche. of the latter, I was very impressed with the bestiary of his thoughts, with his characterisation of Ariadne, Theseus, Zarathustra. pleased to recognise 1) possible meaning to title Mygale 2) remembrance of my own original conception (age 16) of SFF ideas of Gateworld 'Dion' as in Dionysius......more

240325: another great book on bergson. this is favourite at the moment. this focuses on his entire metaphysics contrary to geometric, spatialised, being which is default to science, with his insistence on time, on change, on becoming, as true reflection of reality, which is best expressed by art. there are great quotes that sum up this attitude: 'science seeks the generalised, art invents the singular' pg 179...
this is also great because he does not hesitate to critique the man's thought in light of later knowledge, in light of history, in hopes deferred, in things not working out the way he expects, but indeed: 'the future does not exist until it happens, when it becomes present' and 'we ever only know the past'. these are also bergson quotes but do not remember where read. it seems every book on bergson offers me yet further ways of understanding his thought, though as this one make clear: the key to everything changing is new conception of Time. analytic philosophy has missed this change, has no apparent awareness of Time, but that is fine with me. I read mostly continental, Indic, Japan/zen. this may not be the easiest place to begin bergson (read 61 before) but a lot of fun...

340313: minor work by bergson. still interesting. general trend is towards equivalence of dream and waking life, how our posture, environment, sights, all effect. how there is no abrupt division. how dreaming self is just as rational. how time is malleable. how space is unbounded. how dreaming incoherence is only waking mind trying to force interpretation rather than experience flow......more
