Chapter 4 in Organization Philosophy, 2010, pp 83-106 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter postulated organization as a process by which the given is articulated into a nature, an assemblage into an organization. It was argued that the given (ideas, bodies) is different, a pure multiplicity. But where does the given come from and how is it generated? What is difference and how are things different? We need to address these fundamental questions as part of a materialist approach to organization in order to ground it in a materialist ontology. To understand Bergson’s ontology of difference, we first need to understand something about the position Bergson writes against, which is Hegel’s legacy of the negative dialectic.
