The Memory of the World: Deep Time, Animality, and Eschatology
New in 2024 from University of Minnesota Press
The Memory of the World argues for a new philosophy of time that takes seriously the multiple, pleated, and entangled temporal events spanning cosmic, geological, evolutionary, and human durations. Ted Toadvine contends that our obsession with the world’s precarity relies on a flawed understanding of time that neglects the past and present with the goal of managing the future, misleading sustainability efforts and diminishing our encounters with the world and with human and nonhuman others. See the full description at the University of Minnesota Press.
