These talks are very helpful, especially when combined with Steve’s own channel. Thank you! I guess Steve could reach a wider audience and gain greater appreciation particularly in Europe - Steve’s intuition is highly ‘Continental’ - if he included another great French thinker Gilles Deleuze. One of his early monographs is titled ‘Bergsonism’. The three syntheses of time play a crucial role in his main work ‘Difference and Repetition’.

Thank you johnannesbongers. I would like to see Steve reach a wider for sure. I do know that he is quite familiar with Deleuze’s “Bergsonism.” And he is not particularly a fan - definitely preferring Bergson over Bergsonism. But I get the impression that Steve is always open to having a dialogue. Note: two recently published books do a fairly good job of looking into the relationship between Bergson’s work and Deleuze’s Bergsonism: 1) "Living in Time: The Philosophy of Henri Bergson" (2023) by Barry Allen; and 2) "Updating Bergson: A Philosophy of the Enduring Present" (2021) by Adam Lovasz. Allen appears to be fan of what Deleuze did - and Lovasz is not.

Perhaps a reconstruction of events that happened in an infinite past?
