Farred on Heidegger's "Was Hei脽t Denken?" (What is Called Thinking?")
I have long been troubled by Henri Bergson鈥檚 notion that all of us have only one idea. In spite of our best efforts to constantly do new work, we keep returning to this one idea. For academics, Bergson鈥檚 is a depressing proposition because a career marked by repetition is, surely, a career lacking in originality. And who would want that?
