Noman Lee (Norihiko Lee) is an independent scholar based in Tokyo, Japan.
He studied philosophy at Tokyo Metropolitan University, where he wrote his master’s thesis on Henri Bergson. His work develops an Information Philosophy Project, connecting Bergson’s philosophy of memory and duration with contemporary discussions in information theory, quantum physics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, metaphysics, and evolutionary theory.
Lee’s recent work explores the possibility of a new ontology centered on information, memory, subtraction, absence, and generative processes. His Japanese-language books and English-language preprints examine questions such as: What is information? Where is memory? Why does consciousness appear as a “hard problem”? Can Bergson’s philosophy be reformulated in light of contemporary science?
