'The Challenge of Bergsonism takes "Matter and Memory", Bergson's most daring and difficult text, and not only makes it accessible to students of Bergson but also to anyone interested in current issues in Continental philosophy. More than this, the book offers a sophisticated Continental alternative to current debates in ontology, phenomenology and ethics.' - John Mullarkey, editor of Henri-Bergson: Key Writings and author of Bergson and Philosophy

The Challenge of Bergsonism explores how Bergsonism questions our ways of thinking, particularly the concept of reality, and ultimately demands a return to ethics. The book also includes the first English translation of Jean Hyppolite's highly influential essay, Various Aspects of Memory in Bergson.

Bergson's key philosophical concept was "duration", encompassing both memory and life. This text analyses this central but complex concept through a close reading of one of Bergson's key works "Matter and Memory", setting it in the broader context of Bergson's other writings.
