︎ Matter, the Meta-spiritual, and the Forgotten Bergson

May 24, 2021

The seminar will offer insight into an ongoing research on how the two Bergson’s (Mina and Henri) is actually a sequel of sorts to Ó Maoilearca’s ‘Spirit in the Materialist World’ essay in Angelaki from 2014. So it is quite Laruellean in approach, taking the idea of the ‘meta-spiritual’ as a kind of alter-ego (or essential remainder) for any materialism (not falling foul of Laruelle’s criticism of the ‘meta’, hopefully, because “meta” is not taken as a form of higher-order representation but rather as the immanent processuality, or mutativity, of thought).
