  Article:   DURATION AND IMMANENCE: THE QUESTION OF A LIFE IN DELEUZE.

Authors:  VERNON CISNEY.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  

The questions that my paper shall pursue are: 1) What path leads from Deleuze’s early writings to his latter-day conception of a life, and 2) What can such a conception of life mean? Our path will trace a reversal and a return, respectively, through phenomenology to Bergson. For Deleuze, a genuine concept of a life is thinkable, only when the phenomenological subject, which Deleuze considers an illusion, has been jettisoned, reabsorbed into the flux of immanence. This implies a return to a century-old philosophical renewal, namely, the reformulation of the experience of time.

Keywords: immanence, duration, Deleuze, Bergson, a life (une vie)
