Abstract

"The Memory of the World: Deep Time, Animality, and Eschatology" by Ted Toadvine, published in 2024, challenges the notion that humans lack experience or consciousness of deep time. Toadvine explores the intertwining of human and nonhuman experiences, delving into diverse temporalities and the memory of the world. The book navigates through various artistic, philosophical, and scientific perspectives, discussing topics such as deep time, apocalyptic narratives, and the relationship between nature and culture. Toadvine's work offers a complex and nuanced examination of experiences that resist easy communication and comprehension, inviting readers to consider the immemorial past and the intertwined nature of existence."
