It is in order to understand these complex relations of the long and the immediate that Benjamin turns to Bergson. This should not surprise us. For few thinkers have pursued this duplicitous nature of time with the intensity and descriptive powers of Bergson. His whole philosophical enterprise is built around the consideration of how time presents itself in these two different orders — a series of separate presents vs. a long continuum, or discrete vs. continuous multiplicities.
