Anyone who wants to see clearly in Bergson's terminology and issues, who is concerned with understanding such central ideas as multiplicity, duration, or memory, and wants to know why and how pure memory for Bergson has an ontological rather than a psychological dimension, and who seeks to understand how Bergson, while paying so much attention to multiplicity, asserts the unity of time, will find this introduction very helpful. Deleuze not only clarifies misunderstandings, but he does so with his characteristic elegance. Just as many German readers have only begun to truly read Nietzsche thanks to Deleuze's book on him, this book encourages readers to engage with Bergson's work at all.
