Book Synopsis
Paul Atkinson is Lecturer at Monash University, Australia.

Trade Review
Henri Bergson and Visual Culture is an immensely interesting book. It not only describes what Bergson’s philosophy of art might have looked like, but it also shows how philosophy can be reoriented, enriched, and developed through its interaction with artworks. A tremendous achievement. * Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University, USA *
‘Bergson’ represents a movement in thought that calls on us to ‘join’ in that movement if we are to understand it. Atkinson not only joins Bergson’s thought with supreme grace, he also creates a Bergsonian understanding of visual art that is quite remarkable. As adept in the history of art as it is impressive in its philosophical scholarship, this is the best book to appear on Bergson in years. * John Ó Maoilearca, Professor of Film, Kingston University, London, UK *
