THE ONTOLOGY OF TIME - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS


Listen Later

In this episode, we attempt to approach one of the most radical concepts of contemporary thought: “timeless time,” as developed by Alexis Karpouzos. This is neither an abstract metaphysical idea nor a poetic metaphor, but a profound rethinking of how we understand time, existence, and the self. Timeless time is not eternity, nor an endless linear duration. It is a rupture with linearity, a movement beyond “before” and “after.” It invites us to think of the world not as a sequence of events, but as a field of continuous transformation, where everything unfolds simultaneously within an invisible rhythm that permeates every form. Within this perspective, life and death cease to be opposites. They are not two separate states that follow one another, but two aspects of the same process. Time does not lead us toward an end; rather, each moment already contains both emergence and dissolution, presence and absence, in a dynamic coexistence. Alexis Karpouzos invites us to see beyond the illusion of stability and continuity. To let go of the need for certainty and control, and to enter into an experience of time as an open, indeterminate, and creative field. This episode does not offer answers. Instead, it opens a question: what does it mean to live not within time, but within a rhythm that neither begins nor ends? And how does our life change when we stop thinking of it as a path toward something, and begin to experience it as an ongoing transformation already unfolding here and now?


The most central and famous concept of Alexis Karpouzos is that the World is neither pure order, nor chaos, nor a simple dialectical contradiction - it is an open and creative play of forces. Man does not dominate the world, but man and the world cooperate and co-form.
