Listen "Deep Time"
Episode Synopsis
This academic work explores the complex relationship between human experience and the vast scales of geological and evolutionary time, challenging anthropocentric views. It examines how deep time, animality, and eschatological thinking inform our understanding of ourselves and the world, drawing on philosophical concepts from thinkers like Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and Heidegger. The text also considers the implications of scientific discoveries, particularly regarding the evolutionary past and the Anthropocene era, for contemporary environmental concerns and our perception of time. Ultimately, it seeks to establish a phenomenological account of deep time and its impact on our lived reality, including the materiality of nature and the concept of biodiversity.
