“…We thus "invoke[d] the same testimony" (Bergson [1896] (1980) would have it. In this chapter we will take our previous arguments a step further by focusing on the methodological and ontological issues surrounding the present-day rise of non-dualist thought.…”

The world is due for a resurgence of original speculative metaphysics. The New Metaphysics series aims to provide a safe house for such thinking amidst the demoralizing caution and prudence of professional academic philosophy. We do not aim to bridge the analyticcontinental divide, since we are equally impatient with nail-filing analytic critique and the continental reverence for dusty textual monuments. We favor instead the spirit of the intellectual gambler, and wish to discover and promote authors who meet this description. Like an emergent recording company, what we seek are traces of a new metaphysical 'sound' from any nation of the world. The editors are open to translations of neglected metaphysical classics, and will consider secondary works of especial force and daring. But our main interest is to stimulate the birth of disturbing masterpieces of twenty-first century philosophy. Matter can receive a form, and within this form-matter relation lies the ontogenesis. Rick Dolphijn and Iris van der Tuin -Gilbert Simondon AcknowledgementsThis book is the result of intense interaction between the two authors and many others. Giving names to the particular elements that form this swarm is an impossible but necessary undertaking, since the two names on the cover of this book definitely do not exhaust what made the book. Most of all, of course, the four wise and generous minds that are given a voice in the first part of this book, and whose voices are rewritten in the second part, should be thanked: Prof. Rosi Braidotti, Prof. Manuel DeLanda, Prof. Finally we would like to thank our loved ones. The interviews in Part One are intra-actions rather than interactions. The former term was introduced by Barad and is central to her new materialism.Qualitatively shifting any atomist metaphysics, intra-action conceptualizes that it is the action between (and not in-between) that matters. In other words, it is not the interviewers or the interviewee or even the oeuvre of the interviewee that deserves our special attention, but it is the sense of orientation that the interview gave rise to (the action itself) that should how it is important to draw situated cartographies of (new) materialisms, and to traverse these maps at the same time in order to produce visionary alternatives, that is, creative alternatives to critique. When it comes toBraidotti's precise take on the matter of materialism, we encounter a Introduction 15Deleuzean "univocity" or "single matter," while we simultaneously findBraidotti acknowledging difference as a force of sexual differing on the one hand, and a sexual difference that needs to be traversed in order to come up with post-human, post-anthropocentric, and post-secular visions of sustainability and (intergenerational) justice on the other.The next interview, with Manuel DeLanda, demonstrates how new materialism is indeed filled with a visionary force, and how an attentive study of a material world asks us to look again at notions such as the mind or subjectivity from which this material world is ...

“…The centrality of this union comes to the fore, according to Bergson ([1896] 2004, 235), on the basis of a distinction made between matter and spirit. Balibar [1989] 1998, 106 on Spinoza).…”

“…We argue that the notion of 'habitus' in the context of Web 3.0 does not capture the subtlety or fluidity of the human-nonhuman relationship expressed on this stage. Moreover, Bergson's understanding of the distinction between habit and memory, outlined in Matter and Memory (Bergson 1908) and how Deleuze developed this in the 1960s and later, (Deleuze 1966;1986;1987) whereby habit is described as something learned by rote and instantiated in the present, can be read as breaking down the distinction between habitus and field completely. The Deleuzian critique of such notions of identity formation has been explored in relation to virtual environments and social networking profiles (Kreps 2008(Kreps , 2010).…”

“…Yet, Bergson never disavowed dualism; he even described Matter and Memory as "frankly dualistic," it is true, with a major specification, which is that the book wants "to lessen greatly, if not to overcome, the theoretical difficulties which have always beset dualism." 25 What additional considerations can help us frame the way durational monism accommodates dualism while removing the traditional difficulties?…”

Beyond Dualism and Monism: Bergson's Slanted Being

There is an old but still unresolved debate pertaining to the question of Bergsonian monism or dualism. Scholars who think that Bergson is ultimately monist clash with those who claim that he has consistently maintained a dualist position. Others speak of contradiction and point out his failure to reconcile dualism with monism. What feeds on the debate is Bergson’s undeniable change of direction: while his first book is flagrantly dualist, his second book takes a sharp turn toward monism. Without denying the intricacy generated by the change of direction, this paper argues that the originality of his position is overlooked every time that the problem is presented in terms of Bergson being dualist or monist. Notably, it contends that Bergson’s third book, Creative Evolution, overcomes both dualism and monism by removing their contradiction through a durational or slanted approach to Being.
