This colloquium talk is planned as an in-person event. Registration is only required for non-CEU members.
ABSTRACT
In this TALK, I investigate the structure of phenomenological time examining its dual nature as an outer flow, wherein the external world unfolds before us, and an inner flow encapsulating personal sensations and thoughts. I scrutinize the phenomenology of having one experience after another and distinguishing it from other temporal phenomenal characters such as change, duration, and continuity. I then argue that even though the flow of experience is often described as smooth, we do not experience the temporal dimension as a continuous series of locations. This gives us reasons to believe that experience is not just discontinuous, but also constituted by disunified flows.
