“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Time Is Real

Lee Smolin trying for something more nuanced than his previous forays into philosophy, and noticing that physics doesn't and can't say everything...and...time is real...nice one. Some philosophers love movement, some hate it. I love it.

Thank you Cliff!

I think you're on the right track with the implication that whether a philosophy includes movement or not is often a matter of taste.

I love synthesis and simultaneity - I love it when I can make both things true at once. So I make space for the eternal and for flux, without trying to reduce one to the other.
