Deep dives
The Interplay of Time and Ecology
The relationship between time and ecological crisis is examined through the philosophical lens of time as discussed by Deleuze. The guests reflect on how objective time, traditionally seen as a universal constant, is insufficient for understanding the ecological challenges we face. Instead, time must be perceived as subjective and emergent, co-originating with human experience and nature. By unpacking these concepts, they argue that recognizing this interplay can help us better understand the urgent existential questions posed by the ecological crisis.
