Bergson and Phenomenology

'Michael Kelly has put together an exceptionally strong collection of essays that seeks a dialogue between Bergson and phenomenology and that features work by both leading continental philosophers and phenomenologists and aspiring young scholars. Such a collection of essays is long overdue. The essays, which cover topics ranging from time, consciousness, and affect to life, evolution, and ethics, are rich and varied. The collection represents a most welcome contribution to the emerging new literature on Bergson and succeeds in showing that Bergson is refreshingly contemporary. Highly recommended. ' - Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick

'The virtue of Michael R. Kelly's volume is not only to have reconstructed debates between Bergson and classical phenomenologists but, more importantly, to propose a Bergsonian contribution to such central phenomenological topics as subjectivity, time, embodiment, nothingness, life, and freedom.' - Alexandre Lefebvre, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

'...the publication of this book is so welcome...' -Akos Krassoy, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie
