In this episode, we explore ”Damascius' Philosophy of Time” by Pantelis Golitsis, a thought-provoking work that reimagines our understanding of time through the lens of the ancient philosopher Damascius. Golitsis brings new clarity to Damascius’ insights, showing how his reflections on time anticipate many modern and contemporary theories. We’ll discuss Damascius’ exploration of what it means for a living being to exist in a constant state of becoming and how this is intertwined with the experience of time. If you're curious about the timeless questions of existence and temporality, this episode offers fresh perspectives you won’t want to miss!
