Abstract

This paper investigates the concept of image and imagination. It starts with Bergson’s theories of image in “Matter and memory” that invoke a new epistemic idea according to which the image is not more a copy of reality, but reality itself. This “philosophy of image” allow rethinking the knowledge process as impersonal, released from the concept of subjectivity. Through the analysis of Blanchot we can observe how the image is similar to deads, or better, to living deads. The image, floating between what is alive and what is dead, makes trembling any separation between the effective and not-effective, being and not-being, the virtual and the actual. Lastly for these reasons we have to rethink it.
