Time, Consciousness and Complexity is an analysis of Bergson’s and Husserl’s philosophy of temporality. Mark Losoncz pays particular attention to the critique of some everyday and philosophical conceptions of time, as well as the attempt to conceive temporality as a qualitative, heterogeneous and dynamic dimension of experience. One thread of the book focuses on the Bergsonian philosophy of duration (critique of the spatialization of time, the virtuality of memory, ethical implications…), while at the same time tracing in detail the development of the Husserlian philosophy of time (lectures on time, Bernau manuscripts, C-manuscripts). The various metaphysical and phenomenological insights are linked by the notion of complexity and the attempt to grasp not only some intratemporal entities or the non-temporal framework of temporality, but temporality itself.
