Etik ve Politika Dersleri

by Henri Bergson, B. Garen Beşiktaşlıyan (Translator)

Bu kitap, Fransız filozof Henri Bergson'un 1891-1893 yılları arasında Paris'in ünlü Henri-IV Lisesinde etik ve politika üzerine verdiği dersleri kapsar. Bergson bu derslerle öğrencilerini École Normale Supérieure sınavlarına yani Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault ve Jacques Derrida gibi dünya çapında birçok filozof yetiştiren yüksekokulun sınavlarına hazırlıyordu. Tarihsel bir perspektif sunmanın yanında onları güncel felsefi tartışmalardan da haberdar kılıyordu. Tabii bunun yanında ilerdeki eserlerinin de yapıtaşlarını sunuyordu.

About the author

Popular and accessible works of French philosopher and writer Henri Louis Bergson include Creative Evolution (1907) and The Creative Mind (1934) and largely concern the importance of intuition as a means of attaining knowledge and the élan vital present in all living things; he won the Nobel Prize of 1927 for literature.

Although international fame and influence of this late 19th century-early 20th century man reached heights like cult during his lifetime, after the Second World War, his influence decreased notably. Whereas such thinkers as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean Paul Sartre, and Lévinas explicitly acknowledged his influence on their thought, Bergsonism of Gilles Deleuze in 1966 marked the reawakening of interest. Deleuze recognized his concept of multiplicity as his most enduring contribution to thinking. This concept attempts to unify heterogeneity and continuity, contradictory features, in a consistent way. This revolutionary multiplicity despite its difficulty opens the way to a re-conception of community, or so many today think.
