K. A. Pearson , Bergson and the adventure of Virtual
Résumé
Pearson's interpretation leads us towards an ontology of immanence and multiplicity which is more than simply an ontology of the event. This ontology does not simply repudiate the dimension of the Absolute, but rather understands it within the essentially temporal context of a philosophy of novelty and contingency, one which demands that we transcend the traditional conceptuality of the one and the many, of subject and object, of being and non-being. The master concept of this new ontology is undoubtedly that of 'becoming'. Pearson attempts to apply a transcendental perspective to this ontology of immanence which he undertakes to interpret in dialogue with Kant and Deleuze.
