It seems to us that Duration essentially defines a virtual multiplicity (what differs in nature). Memory then appears as the coexistence of all degrees of difference in this multiplicity, in this virtuality.
I thoroughly enjoyed this survey, a treatment similar to those of Badiou when completing his annals of anti-philosophy. Deleuze parses the three chief principles of Bergson. I’m trusting the author here, not being overly familiar with Bergson. The possibility of Duration can only exist with the possibility of memory and a unified field of time. I’ve wrestled with that all morning but feel a relative (can’t avoid the pun) tension between perception and recollection a necessary dynamic.

Bergsonism is one of Deleuze’s most packed history of philosophy text. It is packed with concepts. Once you understand Bergsonism, Deleuze (as well as Guattari’s) projects become a lot clearer. Primarily, Bergson’s concept of the two multiplicities, intuition as method, and duration as immediate datum. All of these prefigure Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus.

"More or less everything that is wrong with Deleuze, in my view, is tied up with his infatuation with Bergson." -Mark Fisher

One of Deleuze's early works that demonstrates how he arrived at some of the key themes in his later oeuvre. Short and quite lucidly written, although I imagine actually having read any Bergson beforehand might make things easier to grasp. I have some Thoughts about the anthropocentrism and the troubled encounter with Einstein's theory of relativity. Other than that, this is an illuminating source for understanding Deleuze's metaphysics.
