Tracing the tradition of the idea of eternal recurrence, “Time-Fetishes” situates eternal recurrence as the grounding thought of Western philosophy and literature.Time- the cyclical, the Bronze-Silver-Gold, theories of rise, decline & fall. Time-Fetishes recounts the history of the tradition that runs counter to the dominant Western impulse to purify eternity of the temporal- from pre-Socratics, to Ovid, Plotinus, Shakespeare, the Newtons (Isaac & Wayne), Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida - the secret tradition of the idea of eternal recurrence. |
