14. Eternal Recurrence, and Theories of Time
In The Gay Science Friedrich Nietzsche introduces a thought experiment of Eternal Recurrence. Here, for fun, I discuss how, if taken seriously, the reality of time under Eternal Recurrence would compare against contemporary theories of time; in particular, J.M.E. McTaggart’s A, B, and C theories of time.This is a hybrid philosophical and creative essay designed for viewers who enjoy analytic philosophy, Nietzsche studies, metaphysics of time, and conceptual thought experiments.
