Craig Lundy – författare

How are we to understand the process of transformation, the creation of the new, and its relation to what has come before? In History and Becoming, Craig Lundy puts forward a series of fresh and provocative responses to this enduring problematic. Through an analysis of Gilles Deleuze's major solo works and his collaborations with Félix Guattari, he demonstrates how history and becoming work together in driving novelty, transmutation and experimentation. What emerges from this exploration is a new way of thinking about history and the vital role it plays in bringing forth the future.

Henri-Louis Bergson (1859–1941) was a French philosopher who is widely and rightly regarded to be amongst the most significant thinkers for Gilles Deleuze’s work. In turn, Deleuze is largely responsible for reviving and contouring the prevailing interest in Bergson’s work through his 1988 book Bergsonism. This critical introduction and guide to Bergsonism gives readers of both Deleuze and Bergson an opportunity to discover and fully connect with the philosophical encounter between these two great thinkers.
