Qu’est-ce que le temps ? Pour vous donner envie de lire le livre : vrin.fr/book.php?code=… je vous propose un tweet (ou deux) tous les jours décrivant le contenu du livre et la philosophie du temps pendant l'été. @Vrin_Librairie @UNIGEnews #philosophie #temps #métaphysique 1/n
@Vrin_Librairie @UNIGEnews Dans une « guerre du temps », deux approches du temps radicalement opposées se livrent un combat sans merci. La première met l’accent sur l’aspect dynamique du temps et soutient que la réalité naturelle est en constant renouvellement. #philosophie #temps 2/n Image
C’est l’approche du « devenir ». Celle-ci prend au sérieux les métaphores de l’écoulement et du passage : le monde (et son contenu) est comme une scène de théâtre sur laquelle entrent et sortent de nouveaux personnages, en y séjournant plus ou moins longuement. #temps 3/n

So what about #postcolonial #Bergson in #Iran? Just as in the case of #Heidegger it seems Ahmad Fardid (1909-1994) is the key figure publishing the first article in 1937 on #Bergson and #Bergsonism seeing in him an ally in his nativist project 1/ Image
His encounter would have been in Tehran and before he met #Corbin after the war (whose work on #Zoroastrian motifs in #Suhrawardi he translated into #Persian) and certainly before he left to study in Paris in 1947 - Ch11 of Mirsepassi book is the place to look 2/ Image
Around the same time as Fardid’s article, Buf-e kur (The Blind Owl) the existentialist novel of Sadeq #Hedayat (1903-1951) was published that seems to bear the influence of the notion of #duration journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… 3/

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) and his processual approach to self, matter, creativity, intuition and free will had an influence not just on continental philosophy but also on #existentialism and #personalism in the #Islamicate milieu - a thread on #postcolonial #Bergson 1/ ImageImageImage
I first came across #Bergson notions of creativity, duration and time in the work of Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) in his Reconstruction (my copy as an undergrad) and Bedil in the Light of Bergson allamaiqbal.com/publications/j… 2/ ImageImageImage
Years later I came across the work of Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Abdennour Bidar (b. 1971) that indicated the abiding #postcolonial interest in #Bergson #Iqbal and #Lahbabi 3/ ImageImageImage
