(...) A filosofia se define, para Deleuze, como criação conceitual, e todo o seu trabalho é marcado por uma extraordinária invenção de conceitos. A arte é, com efeito, do domínio por excelência da criação, mas a arte cria blocos de sensações e não conceitos filosóficos. Grandes artistas e escritores são também grandes pensadores, mas pensam em termos de perceptos e afectos. Pintores pensam com linhas e cores, músicos pensam com sons, cineastas, com imagens e escritores, com palavras. Por isso, não há nenhum privilégio ou hierarquia entre essas diferentes atividades, pois cada uma delas é igualmente criadora. O verdadeiro objeto da arte é criar seres de sensação, agregados sensíveis; o objeto da filosofia é a criação conceitual. Criar um conceito é tão difícil quanto realizar uma composição visual, sonora ou verbal. Do mesmo modo, nada é tão grandioso quanto dar à luz uma imagem cinematográfica, uma pintura ou mesmo assinar um conceito. Veronica Damasceno
Matter and Memory presents an analysis of the classical philosophical problems concerning this relation. Within that frame the analysis of memory serves the purpose of clarifying the problem. Matter and Memory was written in reaction to the book The Maladies of Memory by Théodule Ribot, which appeared in 1881. Ribot claimed that the findings of brain science proved that memory is lodged within a particular part of the nervous system; localized within the brain and thus being of a material nature. Bergson was opposed to this reduction of spirit to matter. Defending a clear anti-reductionist position, he considered memory to be of a deeply spiritual nature, the brain serving the need of orienting present action by inserting relevant memories. The brain thus being of a practical nature, certain lesions tend to perturb this practical function, but without erasing memory as such. The memories are, instead, simply not 'incarnated', and cannot serve their purpose.

Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped to lead us into the atomic age. Yet in the final decades of his life he was also ignored by most working scientists, his ideas opposed by even his closest friends. This stunning downfall can be traced to Einstein's earliest successes and to personal qualities that were at first his best assets. Einstein's imagination and self-confidence served him well as he sought to reveal the universe's structure, but when it came to newer revelations in the field of quantum mechanics, these same traits undermined his quest for the ultimate truth. David Bodanis traces the arc of Einstein's intellectual development across his professional and personal life, showing how Einstein's confidence in his own powers of intuition proved to be both his greatest strength and his ultimate undoing. He was a fallible genius. An intimate and enlightening biography of the celebrated physicist, Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals how much we owe Einstein today - and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.
