In our research Rhythms of immanence: duration and eternity in Bergson and Spinoza we intend to deepen the relationship between Bergson and Spinoza, in order to describe it and investigate the significance of this relationship between these two philosophies for the understanding of each and the possible sympathy between them, so as to investigate the pertinence and effectiveness of the convergence of what would be the profound intuition of Spinozism and that of Bergsonism, reaching, by studying Bergson's writings for themselves, Bergson's writings on Spinoza, and Spinoza's writings for themselves (all following Bergson's intuitive method), the most intimate reality of knowledge and existence as, for Bergson, duration and intuition as thinking in duration, and, for Spinoza, eternity and intuitive science - finally investigating whether and how duration and eternity converge, in what could be described and experienced by immanence as proposed by Spinoza, and even Bergson (as, perhaps, "pure duration" and "eternity of life").
