The core idea of Bergson's major work “Matter and Memory”, approaching the philosophical problems of mind from a perspective of time, has long remained obscure and enigmatic. Thanks to the recent development in the sciences of consciousness as well as in the analytic metaphysics, its theoretical potentialities and advantages were ready to be revealed in many productive aspects. By setting a clear focus onto the relation of consciousness and time, which is peculiar to “Matter and Memory”, our multidisciplinary research network, including not only philosophers, but also neuroscientists, pathologists, researchers of artificial intelligence, aesthetics, psychology, ethics, etc., have achieved remarkable results as efficiently as possible. The two first international symposia have already published as two proceedings and the third will also be published in 2018.
