• Augenblick

  The temporal-existential locus in which past and future converge in decision. Etymologically "blink-of-the-eye," the Augenblick is the moment of seeing-and-deciding — not a temporal point on a timeline but the Zeitlichkeit des Selbsthandel…

• Beständigung des Werdens in die Anwesenheit

  Heidegger's climactic thesis on the essence of will to power: it is the Beständigung des Werdens in die Anwesenheit — the making-stand-fast of becoming into abiding presence. The phrase appears at the close of Der Wille zur Macht als Erken…

• Cinematographic Mechanism of Thought

  Bergson's name (Chapter IV of Creative Evolution) for the structural way the human intellect falsifies movement and becoming: it extracts immobile snapshots ("views," vues) from the moving real and then recomposes movement by running the s…

• Creative Evolution Henri Bergson, 1907

  Author(s): Henri Bergson · Year: 1907 (trans. Donald A. Landes, Routledge 2023) · Type: book

• Depth of Time (Temporal Depth)

  The temporal counterpart of spatial depth: the felt thickness of time as inherent to a perspective, not a distance representable "in profile." Décarie-Daigneault 2024 develops the structural parallel with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of s…

• Durée (Duration)

  Bergson's name for real, lived time: qualitative, continuous, indivisible, irreversible, and creative of the genuinely unforeseeable — "the continuous progression of the past, gnawing into the future and swelling up as it advances" (EC 7).…

• Encounter (Deleuze)

  Deleuze's concept (chiefly Difference and Repetition 1968) for an event that occurs at the surface — that is, in the present — and which commands the opening of a certain depth in the virtual past. The encounter is what "forces us to think…

• Eternal Recurrence

  Nietzsche's thought that the same events will repeat, identically, an infinite number of times — first introduced in The Gay Science §341 (the "greatest weight") and developed through Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the notebooks, and Ecce Homo. N…

  French philosopher (1925–1995), author of Difference and Repetition (1968), Logic of Sense (1969), and (with Félix Guattari) Anti-Oedipus (1972) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980). Although a generation younger than Merleau-Ponty and not typic…

• John Archibald Wheeler

  American theoretical physicist (1911-2008). Doctoral advisor to Richard Feynman; collaborator with Niels Bohr; coined "black hole," "wormhole," and "it from bit." Wheeler is the originator of the delayed choice experiment that has become o…

• Melting Time (temps fondant)

  David Morris's name (drawn from a Merleau-Ponty unpublished working note) for the indeterminate, invisible, undifferentiated change prior to time-orders that, through its own dynamics, generates visible, determinate time-forms. Morris's ti…

• Metamorphosis (in art)

  Malraux's central concept in The Voices of Silence: metamorphosis is a law governing the life of every work of art (p. 72). Works survive across time not by repeating their original meaning but by being recreated in each new vocabulary tha…

• Nascent State (état naissant)

  Merleau-Ponty's recurring formulation in Phenomenology of Perception for the moment-just-before-objectification — the layer at which sense, perception, time, language, or freedom is being born without yet having been constituted as an obje…

• Ontogenesis of Time

  The local generation of time-orders out of melting time / change-dynamics. The phrase comes from a Merleau-Ponty unpublished working note (BNF vol. VIII Notes 1958-1959 p. [253]) and is developed by Morris (2024) into a structural-physical…

• Passence

  Décarie-Daigneault's neologism (2024) for the modality of past-given-as-implicated in the present — the having-been-here of an entity disclosed by an encounter with its trace, given not as historical fact-of-presence but as a past that has…

• Processioning (paysage)

  David Morris's neologism for the temporal-distributive structure of quantum-mechanical dynamics, replacing the wavefunction-realist image of "guiding-branching" as a process spatially distributed alongside the apparatus. In English, a "pro…

• Sein und Zeit Martin Heidegger, 1967

  Author(s): Martin Heidegger · Year: 1927 (this edition 1967) · Type: book (an Abhandlung first published as Sonderdruck from Husserl's Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung, Bd. VIII)

• Syncope (Nancy)

  Nancy's figure (developed across Le discours de la syncope: Logodaedalus (1976), Ego sum (1979), Corpus (1992), Une pensée finie (1990)) for the interruption-at-the-heart-of-contact — the rhythmic break, the cut, the gap, the diastolic/sys…

• Time-to-Come / À-venir (Nancy)

  Nancy's name for the temporal mode of the time-to-come, distinct from future-as-calculable-projection. From Fragile Skin I §1: "The to-come (to write it in this way) . . . would be the pre-sence of the present, that which does not yet take…

• Transtemporality

  Merleau-Ponty's late concept (occasional in the 1954–55 Institution and Passivity lectures) for the coherent coexistence of multiple heterogeneous temporalities on a single plane. MP defines it formulaically as "institution in its nascent…

• Wild Structure

  David Morris's name for quantum mechanical systems read as Merleau-Pontian structures operating in wild being — structures that generate their own time-orders rather than presupposing them. The qualifier "wild" applied to structure (not ju…
