This article examines and critically assesses the role of Bergson’s durée in Deleuze’s philosophy. Deleuze is fascinated by Spinoza's concept of expression, which unifies the single essence and its states and attributes; but this "expression" is temporal. In other words, the essence, which is a fluid constant, requires a fluid context for its expression or realization; this context is time. Of course, this time is neither circular, nor linear time, nor even existential time; but it is a special time that is raised by the key Bergsonian concept of the durée. The durée, according to the Deleuze-Bergsonian understanding of time, is internal, non-numerical, indivisible, and devoid of spatial characteristics. The durée is focused on transition, change, and becoming; but the becoming that endures, and the change that is the fluidity of the essence. The main characteristic of the durée is difference; in fact, the durée is that which is different from itself, a difference that does not fall under the categories of identity. What makes the durée the durable is its difference; Of course, this difference is not a difference with something or a difference with another, but a difference with oneself, or more precisely, a difference in itself; this shows that difference in itself is not an attribute imposed on the other but is entirely inherent to it. It is this inherent attribute that charms Deleuze and makes him fascinated by Bergson. Deleuze, through a re-reading of Bergson, constructs a temporally oriented and difference-based apparatus for understanding being.
