The Memory of the World

Viac o knihe

Exploring the concept of deep time, this work critiques the contemporary fixation on apocalyptic scenarios and their impact on sustainability. It argues that this perspective stems from a flawed understanding of time that overlooks our connections to the past and present. By employing a phenomenological lens, the author, Ted Toadvine, draws on thinkers like Merleau-Ponty and Derrida to propose a philosophy of time that embraces the complexities of human and nonhuman interactions, ultimately advocating for a transformative relationship with the earth and its myriad temporalities.
