G. William Barnard （何度も確認したのだが、Bernardではなかった）
Living Consciousness: The Metaphysical Vision of Henri BergsonState Univ of New York Pr (December 2011)でハードカバー版が出ていましたが、このたび4月1日にペーパーバック版が出るとのお知らせを著者の方よりいただきました。かなり宗教的なアプローチなのかなという感じがしますね。
From the Back Cover
Living Consciousness examines the brilliant, but now largely
ignored, insights of French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941).
Offering a detailed and accessible analysis of Bergson's thought, G.
William Barnard highlights how Bergson's understanding of the nature of
consciousness and, in particular, its relationship to the physical world
remain strikingly relevant to numerous contemporary fields. These range
from quantum physics and process thought to philosophy of mind, depth
psychology, transpersonal theory, and religious studies. Bergson's
notion of consciousness as a ceaselessly dynamic, inherently temporal
substance of reality itself provides a vision that can function as a
persuasive alternative to mechanistic and reductionistic understandings
of consciousness and reality. Barnard closes the work with several
"ruminations" or neo-Bergsonian responses to a series of vitally
important questions such as: What does it mean to live consciously,
authentically, and attuned to our inner depths? Is there a
philosophically sophisticated way to claim that the survival of
consciousness after physical death is not only possible but likely?
