Philosophy & What Matters. Ep. 4: Time with Graeme A. Forbes (Kent)
Channel: Jeremiah Joven Joaquin
Date: 2020-08-03

"Philosophy & What Matters" deals with questions that matter to us from a philosophical point of view. 

Our topic for today is the philosophy of time. The great English philosopher, Freddie Mercury once said, “Time waits for nobody”. Well, he’s not really a philosopher, but many of us would still share his sentiment. Time seems to flow at a steady pace from the past, to the present, and into the future, and it is indifferent to whatever our hopes and dreams might be. But what’s the underlying philosophical idea behind this sentiment? And is this the “right” view to take? Why does it even matter to think about the nature of time in the first place?

To guide us through the philosophy of time, we are joined by Graeme A. Forbes, Head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Kent.
